Where did someone get the bright idea to associate deliveries with sales? Autodata never even mentioned sales, but every article since has been pointing out a "decline in sales".
Like - what would have been the U.S. May delivery numbers if Tesla sold 10000 cars? Or what about 0 cars? Would it have been anything other than 1425?

There's no paywall there. The author's motivation is to get the price down since he shorted at $50. (Read his previous articles on it).
Deliveries is the only way we have to track sales in North America, now that the reservation system has been discontinued. There is no problem with the methodology. The problem is that folks are misinterpreting Autodata. The delivery numbers they are comparing to including all North American deliveries, while the Autodata estimate is only the U.S.
