    Elon Musk: Stop your end of the quarter mad dash....it hurts delivery experience

    Took delivery of my S today. There were a ton of Tesla (30+) at the service center. They are all to be delivered by end of the week. This is crazy, there are only few people working at Service Center. Quality of delivery is not top notch. 1. my S was not fully charged, it shows ~100 miles...
