Not Tesla dealerships. They sell their cars online so the dealers really only exist as a pickup location and any final documentation from the buyer. These lots filling up with unsold cars means that production is exceeding sales to the point they are distributing cars to sit on lots waiting for buyers. It's inverse of how Tesla normally operates.
