As Wall Street analysts worry that demand for Tesla vehicles is waning, CEO Elon Musk told employees that the company has received more than 50,000 new orders this quarter.

That number was disclosed to all Tesla employees in an email sent late Wednesday, a copy of which was viewed and confirmed authentic by Business Insider. Musk also added that the company could surpass its vehicle delivery record of 90,700 which it set in the fourth quarter of 2018.

I visit a large shopping mall near me regularly...largely because it has a Wegman’s and because it’s a great place to walk. This mall also has a Tesla “dealership” which,while walking,I walk past repeatedly. 99% of the time there are *no* customers there and the other 1% you see one or two.

And this is an upper middle class suburb of one of the nation’s most important cities....a suburb surrounded by very *wealthy* towns.

High demand? Not that *I’ve* noticed.

...

Ah bull. I can go on Google and look at pictures of the Natick Mall store with customers inside.

The customers aren’t there yet when the octogenarians are taking their strolls.

I go during business hours...I am most assuredly not an early riser.

Who would want to buy one of these cars when the company will likely go bankrupt and you won’t be able to find parts 3-5 years out? Looks like a DeLorean like bankruptcy to me.

Yup, and I bet one side is that Tesla doesn’t really inform buyers that there are virtual zero replacement parts or repair venues for their cars. And as more and more of these gross polluters hit the streets the odds of their cars being damaged or breaking down increase.
