The unfortunate news is that despite the months of lead-in time to getting up to this scale, they never bothered to get a handle on the logistics of shipping out the completed product, and are now stuck with massive lots of undelivered Model 3s. Musk's "genius" plan to deal with this is to spend a few million dollars and few months to build a new fleet of trailers, rather than simply work with existing companies to ship existing products to existing customers within the next month.

Tesla is using a new type of sale and delivery system compared to pretty much all existing companies. That has advantages and disadvantages.
I'm not sure what you are referring to with 'existing companies', you don't just have to deliver. You have to deliver, do paperwork, show cars feature and give the costumer the opportunity to point out quality problems. What existing companies could possibly do that?
We will see in the longrun if location based are vehice based delivery is better.
