They don't split the numbers among models - so it's stuck with the 'Other models' production. It is scaling back significantly - it was 24k cars produced in Q2 2024, down to 13k this Q.

Deliveries where ~3k lower than production each quarter, so there are 15k of them stuck somewhere. Given the pace of depreciation, they may even soon be available at the price Elon initially announced !

Unsold new units do not depreciate. Of course they may discount them to move them but it's not depreciation like a used car
Their prices have been falling for new and they're competing against a lot of low milage regret purchases on the used market.
They do, but the owner is the one who realizes it.

A "new" car that is last year's model will effectively hit the owner with a year's depreciation the moment they sign the sales contract.
