1.09 million Model Y's... in 2024

I imagine that will peter out over time, especially as other buying options appear. Coupling that with a lot of bad Musk choices, I don't expect them to do well.

The share price had already been dropping over the last month or so, buoyed only recently by the rumor of a forthcoming government contract. Make it hurt.
And MTG purchased some Tesla stock herself, in January, which makes one wonder what inside information she had?
I hope she faces a big loss too.
