day supply
Day supply is a way to measure how many days the cars we have on hand will last if people keep buying at the same speed. A higher number means more cars are available.
Day supply refers to the number of days a current inventory level would last if sales continued at the current rate. It’s used to gauge how long a manufacturer can meet demand before needing new production.
