(Bloomberg) -- Tesla Inc. said the delivery volumes it’s reaching in the last weeks of each quarter are making transportation capacity “expensive and difficult to secure.”

It’s reacting by moving to a smoother delivery pace, “leading to more vehicles in transit at the end of the quarter,” the automaker said in its third-quarter earnings report.

“We expect that smoothing our outbound logistics throughout the quarter will improve cost per vehicle,” Tesla said.
