The only similarity is that they are both blue. The Lexus LC 500 you posted in Structural Blue is closer to another in house Lexus color Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0, they are very vibrant when light hits it. Tesla Deep Blue Metallic is more muted but deep like the name suggests.
For those that don't know, Tesla Service Centers do the delivery on the cars. Tesla doesn't have dealerships...just retail outlets. Kind of hard to do deliveries there...
New cars to be delivered to customers. Tesla does not have the typical dealers to sell as you know, just showrooms. So they deliver the cars from the Service Centers

Why wouldn’t Tesla build out enough S models so sales do not fall? Most manufacturers would not close their plant for 6 months for a refresh/update. That is the issue. 6 months down is BAD. Perhaps Tesla knew that demand had softened late last year
He said that a shortage of computer chips, which has affected production of vehicles at automakers around the world, left most analysts expecting that Tesla would likely build somewhere between 150,000 to 170,000 vehicles in the quarter. He said Tesla probably shut production of the Model S and Model X cars because of the chip shortage, and instead use the chips it has to build its higher volume vehicles.
"The S and X are on a slow sunset path," Ives said. "The demand for those models has been exhausted. It was telegraphed [Tesla] would build a negligible number of those in the quarter. Based on demand, it makes sense they're were going to bet their chips on the Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla is now about those models, and the [upcoming] Cybertruck."
Other automakers have shut production of some of their less popular models to keep the supply of chips for their better selling models, such as pickup trucks and large SUVs, which not coincidentally are their more profitable models.

Not at all the same thing. Those are firmware upgrades, not the sort of new and updated features that Tesla launches in their OTA updates.
hahaha. Checkers vs. Chess. Navigation firmware update vs. a whole new security system to monitor bad activity in a car...lol.
IMO, legacy auto makers will not need to offer full over the air updates like a Tesla. Mostly the user interface and autonomous driving features. Some will dabble with unlocking features like BMW wants to, but that won’t be a long term success for them. Only Tesla will likely do the entire car.

You're original argument is that Oems could do it better than Tesla. It's in post above. When we tear your argument apart, you now say only Tesla needs to do it? Obviously you can't defend it so you change subjects.
That Mach E hasn't had a substantial update yet. Just simple OtAs nothing like Tesla. That Mach E software is laggy compared to Tesla too. Terrible example of OEM software superiority. Lol.
