Considering the pickup EV has been an enormous commercial flop, only selling barely a fraction of Musk’s promised 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertrucks a year, there’s a good chance Tesla is using the mercurial CEO’s other venture to boost the numbers ahead of the end of an otherwise disastrous year.

So even the cleaners at SpaceX are getting company cars?

No. That costs money. They sit in a parking lot and rot.

Which is strange, because Tesla is supposed to have a build to order business model only. Yet, the local mall near me has >300 Teslas rotting in the parking lot.

Time for another Margot Robie explanation.

They keep shuffling around their inventory, earlier this year they were forced to move vehicles that were just sitting in a parking lot for months: https://www.jalopnik.com/1894493/hundreds-of-unsold-teslas-evicted-from-detroit-parking-lot/

I wonder if musk will run out of places to store his trash. The "rational market" still thinks tesla stock is worth near all-time highs, more than all major car companies combined.
