The number is likely to go up, Jill. Chances are there's another 51 or more deliveries to be found. Today's Tesla release included the following qualifier:
"Our delivery count should be viewed as slightly conservative, as we only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct. Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5% or more."
(Bolding mine)

call it a positive... yes. I would call it that. Let’s see where the profits are...should be announced soon

In what universe is 500K cars minus ~50 a failure? Up 36% YoY during a global shutdown is fantastic.

Basically saying pretty good I guess but I'll throw shade and complain about something else.

If Tesla would have lease pricing in line with BMW, MB, Lexus etc - their sales would probably be at least double of what they are now.
I’m not a big EV fan and not crazy about Tesla design/fit&finish but there is no doubting how great their cars drive and the technology they offer is unparalleled. There is no doubt in my mind they will be setting more and more records for next decade at least. None of the mainstream automakers have even one successful EV model while Tesla has a full lineup.

I hear often this tale about hydrogen cars.
But the thing is, I believe it's more a hoax, that is ported by oil companies so that they still can be relevant in the future.
A hydrogene car, is loosing energy in every corner. It needs energy to create the fuel, it needs energy to deliver the fuel and it looses part of the fuel stocked to deliver the power.

You can store energy from 'excess' electricity produced by wind and solar (+hydro-electric, and others) by using it to convert water into hydrogen.
so hydrogen doesn't have to come from fossil fuels (e.g., natural gas).

The government agenda to push hydrogen has been going on for over a decade now yet it makes up a measly 4% of all the energy usage in their country. I think it's another silly public display of nationality and global independence that has more to do with public image than actual utility, just like the rest of the Abe-era policies and Cool Japan agenda.

The ad hominen attacks on Cadogan's credibility rather than debating the facts he brings up in his videos seems to be a case of shooting the messenger because the audience doesn't like hearing the inconvenient truth.

For every doomsayer of Tesla, there is an optimist for Tesla's vision. I personally think the tides of change favor the EV vision. Let's see if you are right or I am in another couple years.
