According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, the wait time for new Tesla Model 3 Performance orders in China has been extended to February 2026, as reported by CnEVPost. This significant delay highlights the ongoing challenges in AI-driven supply chain management and production scalability for electric vehicle manufacturers. The reliance on artificial intelligence for inventory forecasting, manufacturing automation, and logistics optimization is growing, presenting both challenges and business opportunities for AI solution providers. Companies specializing in AI for automotive supply chains may see increased demand as automakers like Tesla seek to streamline operations and reduce delivery times. (Source: @SawyerMerritt, CnEVPost)
