Many of the supply chain shortages affecting Tesla are alleviating as of January 2022.

Factual claim as of 27 Jan 2022 that many of the supply chain shortages affecting Tesla were easing. True: contemporaneous evidence (Tesla's Q4 2021 update or 10-K, industry data on chips and parts) shows that a good part of Tesla's key supply constraints were improving in January 2022. Mostly true: some major constraints were easing while others persisted. Mixed: the evidence is evenly split, with some easing but key shortages such as chips still severe or worsening. Mostly false: the shortages largely persisted or worsened, with only isolated easing. False: Tesla's own filings or industry data from that time show broad worsening, with no easing.

   “And so, we should see -- we are seeing alleviation in almost every area, but the output of the vehicle is -- goes with the least lucky.”

   “So, the chip shortage, while better than last year, is still an issue.”

   “Also, semiconductor shortages are easing out as compared to earlier, but will still continue to persist throughout 2022.”

   “Leading global players across the value chain have given a guidance of production shortfalls continuing for a major part of 2022; supplies are only expected to revert to normal levels by first quarter of CY2023.”

The one independent source, a December 2021 industry report, says semiconductor shortages were "easing out as compared to earlier" but would persist through 2022 (E3), and that production shortfalls were expected for much of 2022, with supply back to normal only by early 2023 (E4). On Tesla's own Q4 2021 call, the company said it was seeing alleviation in almost every area but that the chip shortage, though better than the year before, was still an issue (E1, E2); these are statements by the subject, not independent support. Together the evidence shows some easing while shortages, including chips, continued. That matches the "mostly true" criterion, which covers cases where some constraints were easing while others persisted.
