How can Tesla blame delivery miss on “logistics snarl?” This is the same company which bought a car carrier firm a few years ago to prove their “vertical integration” would speed up deliveries and fatten margins. ![Screenshot (8761)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/motleyfoolfree/original/2X/8/879c03303df659f755fc89c2686c4e002472d973.jpeg) > [Tesla Inc.](https://archive.ph/o/AIkGa/https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/TSLA:US) worldwide deliveries missed forecasts in the third quarter and the company warned of challenges in getting its cars to customers, suggesting that supply-chain snarls remain a blight. > > It delivered a record 343,830 cars worldwide in the third quarter. Analysts had expected that nearly 358,000 vehicles would be shipped, based on the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. > > “Historically, our delivery volumes have skewed towards the end of each quarter due to regional batch building of cars,” Austin, Texas-based Tesla said in a statement. _ **“As our production volumes continue to grow, it is becoming increasingly challenging to secure vehicle transportation capacity and at a reasonable cost during these peak logistics weeks.”** _ ---

\*\*This article from a German firm confirms the sentiment I am seeing on Twitter from people who know A/I and robots: > **[Musk's new humanoid disappoints robot experts – DW – 10/01/2022](https://www.dw.com/en/tesla-ai-robot-musks-new-humanoid-disappoints-experts/a-63304724)** > > Tesla's Elon Musk has often boasted about his plan to sell millions of affordable robots to mark a "future of abundance." Critics think that future is still far off. > An early prototype of Tesla Inc.'s Optimus humanoid awkwardly walked onto the stage on Friday, while a crowd — largely made up of Tesla employees — cheered and roared. The robot waved its hand and moved its hips, seemingly dancing to the music. An advanced version of the Optimus, said to be constructed with Tesla-made parts, had to be wheeled to the stage and carried to a small podium where it waved and thrust its knee. > > This limited activity disappointed several robot engineers, AI experts and tech enthusiasts hours later when the company’s artificial intelligence event was streamed to the public. > > “The robot can actually do a lot more than we just showed you, we just didn’t want it to fall on its face,” Tesla Founder Elon Musk said at the event, justifying the caution and fuss. ---

I redrew trendlines on the daily chart where we are also looking at a new Bearish Crossover of 20 x 50 EMAs If you are a $TSLA shareholder (I only trade $TSLA) keep an eye on the trendline supports on both the weekly and monthly charts. Were I long $TSLA, I’d be using those trendlines to set stop/losses. **$TSLA daily chart** ![Screenshot (8787)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/motleyfoolfree/original/2X/7/7dcbacc4f8711c931b48bb9d081452eb51a3c214.png) **$TSLA weekly chart** ![Screenshot (8785)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/motleyfoolfree/original/2X/b/b0aac3466d60b2b4011d904c337633b972004ddd.png) **$TSLA Monthly Chart** ![Screenshot (8786)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/motleyfoolfree/original/2X/0/0ad2563c8aa9e9ed66cce933d948968c20bf43e4.png) To see $TSLA charts which update in real time: Daily: [TSLA | SharpCharts | StockCharts.com](https://schrts.co/SrQcKieE) Weekly: [TSLA | SharpCharts | StockCharts.com](https://schrts.co/RygGWUqx) Monthly: [TSLA | SharpCharts | StockCharts.com](https://schrts.co/xjtGvqVS) ---
