Tesla is now offering big discounts on its Model Y SUV, marking down Model Y prices by $7,500 in some cases. In Q1, the company produced more than 46,000 more cars than it delivered. That equates to roughly $ 230,000,000.00 worth of unsold inventory sitting idle out in the sun.

That's the problem with identity politics...

At first I thought to myself 'It's crazy that 
so many people support RFK Jr'...

And then I saw that 4 out of 10 people still support Joe Biden. 
I'm still scraping brain parts off of the ceiling...

And a pack of Marlboros in Nigeria only cost about 40 cents, 
so it ain't the cost that's a factor. Juss' sayin'...
