Tesla is forcing the auto industry to rapidly change. Large, established automakers norv are making fully electric and hybrid electric cars. Automakers are starting to explore and include artificat intelligence $($AI$)$ in their cars. Not only that, but Tesla's software design is state$-$of$-$the art he fact that Tesla can update vehicle software over$-$the$-$air $($OTA$)$ as if it were Apple up flaved vehicles, is extraordinary. But. Tesla struggles to meet deadlines and frequenth de compary shoulan't be critical stable supply chains are to the success of an automotive company.

Tesla missed Model $3$ production goals in Q$32017$ due to supplier issues, and ended up having to redesign a key part of the Model $3.$ Tesla's supply chain is still in the development phase, and nght now Tesla doesn't have the capital and eupplier relationships that other big automakers have: said an automaker expert. $"$If that went down, batteries are hearily commoditized, so there wouldn't be to much of a hiccup, but there would be some down time."

Because Tesla's supply chain often reliea on single source suppliers, one can quiclly fit the puzale pieces together to see how and why Tesla has struggled. According to a Tesia statement, the chain is its relationship with suppliers $-$ and that might be there Teda is weaket$|$

In general, the auto inductry doesn't single source, and the average auto supply chain if far mose issue. For example. Tesla is tying to ramp up production of the Model $3$ necessitang a high supplier:

That compoumds the problem; now Iesla has to produce and sell as mamy cas as possible inf order

to pay suppliers and maintain sions supplier relationships. But because Tesla is etill learning hov

to mass produce electuc cars, fesla is stal rew to the aute witr car at an efficient rate.
