Model S Owner and Frustrated Tesla Fan
Because, you know, they lost power, and Musk was in the news talking about how he could make them independent of the (failed) grid. (And he was in the news in a *big* way.) The idea that 11,000 of them phoned him up is in fact completely plausible.Or, you know, it could totally be 11,000 Puerto Ricans suddenly buying power walls on their own accord separately .........
As a mental clarifying exercise: when Tesla sells 11,000 Model Ses, do you assume it must be a single project, a fleet sale? If not, why not? Because with Tesla Energy, that's your entire logic: it's a lot therefore it must be a single fleet sale.
So clearly the same logic applies to car sales, right?
