Okay so what is special about 420?Actually, on a related note, I really want to know who's getting DE # 420. Hey Elon, here's a chance for some epic trolling.

That’s the price ($420/share) that Musk said in 2018 (via tweet) he planned to take Tesla private and had the funding to do so. Only to come back a short time later to say he didn’t have the funding.Okay so what is special about 420?
There's also this, which is the primary reason for Elon's obsession:That’s the price ($420/share) that Musk said in 2018 (via tweet) he planned to take Tesla private and had the funding to do so. Only to come back a short time later to say he didn’t have the funding.
That announcement cost him about $40 million in a settlement with the SEC.
They are really going to need the self driving then!I hope someone from Colorado receives DE 420![]()

To this date I believe the 420 was a stunt to get Saudi to sell early. Which I believe did work. He tanked his own stock and Saudi left the building.
I have a feeling once Lucid, Rivian, Mercedes, BMW, and even Nio all get established production lines on their EV products with their ADAS systems, Tesla will drop significantly once actual owners realize the different in quality and leadership. Most of the Tesla fanboys trying to bring down Lucid aren’t old enough to afford a Tesla.Tesla will fare just fine

Tesla's current inventory: 34S 2M3 1Y 0 X. Tesla does not have a problem selling everything they make. Their problem is service. The waiting time is now over a month. They recently took over an old BestBuy complex, which worked for a while, but they are overwhelmed once again. Imagine the complexity of servicing millions of cars under Tesla's current business model.Tesla will certainly lose market share as these new entrants arrive. However, the EV market is expanding so rapidly that its absolute production numbers will probably continue to climb.
At least where I live, I have been surprised by two things in the past few months, especially with the arrival of the seasonal "snow birds". Cars such as the Mustang Mach-E and VW ID.4 remain scarce as hens' teeth on the roads even though they are on dealers' lots. But the roads and intersections are crawling with Teslas (mostly 3's and Y's, and predominantly white ones). We have counted as many as seven sitting through a stoplight at one large intersection. Besides our own Plaid, we have seen Plaids in every color except blue on the roads or in parking lots. We almost never take a local trip of more than a few minutes without seeing a Tesla. The Service Center in the next town up is delivering more than 800 cars a quarter and climbing at last count.
test drive vehiclesI read in another forum/site that someone said Lucid is delivering GTs. I assumed that any GTs are going to studios. He didn’t provide any details. Your thoughts ?
It seems as though they are producing GTs right now for test drives to different studios as well as review cars for reviewers to test. They are taking a GT to car shows every weekend in California. I think they will start production on customer GTs in about 2-3 weeks.I read in another forum/site that someone said Lucid is delivering GTs. I assumed that any GTs are going to studios.

It's funny, as he goes through the menu, I can't help but feeling a familiarity to the way the Tesla menu is laid out. You can tell Peter's heritage.
Here is a someone claiming they received 605, however, I believe it might be typo?
I'm reading that conversation on Twitter now. Seems like bullshit. He's saying he knows at least 10 other people who have Dream Drive.
