Pardon me from going elsewhere than the taking private story. But! Tesla was struggling with logistics lately which wasn't able to keep up with increased production. Tesla filled a few overflow lots with vehicles to the point that some were suggesting that there was insufficient demand and this was really a stockpile. Last week, Tesla started to move a significant number of cars away however, presumably out to deliveries. See this youtube channel with a lot of drone fly-overs to judge yourself (If you take delivery in the coming weeks and you find a discarded Carl's Jr wrapper on the backseat, the last video explains that too.)
Debunked already. Please don't re-spread FUD here.
