The only similarity is that they are both blue. The Lexus LC 500 you posted in Structural Blue is closer to another in house Lexus color Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0, they are very vibrant when light hits it. Tesla Deep Blue Metallic is more muted but deep like the name suggests.

For those that don't know, Tesla Service Centers do the delivery on the cars. Tesla doesn't have dealerships...just retail outlets. Kind of hard to do deliveries there...

He said that a shortage of computer chips, which has affected production of vehicles at automakers around the world, left most analysts expecting that Tesla would likely build somewhere between 150,000 to 170,000 vehicles in the quarter. He said Tesla probably shut production of the Model S and Model X cars because of the chip shortage, and instead use the chips it has to build its higher volume vehicles.
"The S and X are on a slow sunset path," Ives said. "The demand for those models has been exhausted. It was telegraphed [Tesla] would build a negligible number of those in the quarter. Based on demand, it makes sense they're were going to bet their chips on the Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla is now about those models, and the [upcoming] Cybertruck."
Other automakers have shut production of some of their less popular models to keep the supply of chips for their better selling models, such as pickup trucks and large SUVs, which not coincidentally are their more profitable models.

Not at all the same thing. Those are firmware upgrades, not the sort of new and updated features that Tesla launches in their OTA updates.

That Mach E hasn't had a substantial update yet. Just simple OtAs nothing like Tesla. That Mach E software is laggy compared to Tesla too. Terrible example of OEM software superiority. Lol.
