Tangent: Is this blogger (Lambert) stilled contractually owed a next-gen Tesla Roadster, as his affiliate reward for his lifetime number of Tesla purchase referrals? Or has that fallen apart in some way? He was a pro-Tesla superfan turned Tesla-skeptic blogger-journalist—I imagine he's near the top of that Tesla CEO's blacklist now, and I'm really curious how the extreme personal animosity intersects with (what I understand to have been) contractual obligations on Tesla's part.
I haven't followed this story in years.
