Elon Musk recently shared a rather interesting update on Twitter — his companies now employ about 110,000 people worldwide. This is quite impressive considering that in the grand scheme of things, Tesla, SpaceX, and Musk’s other ventures are still just getting started. Musk’s update came as a response to a TSLA bull on Twitter who…
Tesla’s infamous waiting lists are back. For most models, if you order today, you may be lucky to see your new Tesla this year. https://twitter.com/teslacn/status/1351545731752943616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1351545731752943616%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcleantechnica.com%2F2021%2F08%2F28%2Fthe-waiting-list-to-own-a-tesla-is-growing%2F Tesla is currently predicting a wait of four to six weeks for the Performance Model 3, and five to six weeks for the Performance Model X.

The news spread in social media quickly, with Dallas Texas TV even noting that the blaze, which “everybody saw all over Dallas,” was caused by a Tesla “basically exploding.” While such a…
