Another ‘420’ Figure From Tesla Fades Away

https://www.wsj.com/articles/another-420-figure-from-tesla-fades-away-1538500855?redirect=amp#click=https://t.co/b3ze50OmeC

quote:

Three months ago, Tesla reported that reservations stood at “roughly 420,000.”


That figure brings to mind Tesla’s supposed deal to execute a go-private transaction at $420 a share—the infamous incident that was the subject of last weekend’s Securities and Exchange Commission settlement with CEO Elon Musk. The agency had alleged prior to the settlement that the price was a reference to marijuana culture.

Tesla had said in August that it stopped taking new reservations for the Model 3, but the company didn’t answer a question about its current reservation count.

The figure seems to have gone up in smoke.

more on the tesla sec settlement breaking apart

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/02/business/tesla-elon-musk-sec.html

quote:

“What it tells us is this board, as a strategic plan, must be using the Jim Jones-Jonestown suicide pact,” Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a professor at the Yale School of Management, said Friday on CNBC. “They are drinking the Kool-Aid of the founder. It is completely as self-destructive as Musk is.”

or as it's known everywhere else "burn in"

also, we don't actually do any burn in tests or even basic finishing steps since this would slow our production times.

also dollars to donuts they can't issue a recall because they don't actually know what VINs are affected because they intentionally killed their internal part tracking

I'm pretty sure at the time Flavor Aid and Kool-Aid were both just flavor (and color) powders, and that having the sugar premixed in is a modern day Kool-Aid innovation.

They had more Flavor Aid, I assume only because it was cheaper
