Elon Musk warns Tesla may stop taking orders on some vehicles due to 'ridiculous' demand

In a recent interview, Elon said that Tesla might stop taking orders for anything beyond a certain period of time, right now the waiting time for most orders is 1 year. If they change the system, I wonder how they would do it, new orders open up at midnight 3 months in advance or something like that? One big problem with orders that take 1 year or close, is that I’m sure a decent percent changes their mind in the process and it also drives away some demand because they need a car sooner.

Tesla removes lease buyout option for all vehicles

Model 3 and Model Y leases already came without an option to purchase the car at the end of the lease, and now, Tesla has extended this option to the Model S and X. One can assume that Tesla has figured out it is better for them to take the car back and use their used program to increase profits.

You can now register your Tesla directly in Texas

It was about time. I was expecting some changes since Tesla moved their HQ to Texas and opened Giga Texas. Now, Teslas purchased in the state of Texas can pay sales tax and fees directly to Tesla, instead of having to do it yourself and pay the sales tax to the state directly. This is just a step to reduce friction when buying a Tesla in Texas.
