Sounds like they might have used the CEOs computer and perhaps he has a modified PDF report ready, downloaded the actual report but provided the altered version. Agree with the other comments, the auditor should get the reports independentl

Some customers might not like other customers knowing where they live? Obviously you can obscure some details but if you remove names would it require the customer to scan the package to confirm its theirs? I guess you could make it opt in

I also think there are now a couple of new factors affecting it. With people staying at home, the demand of toilet paper has shifted to the home more. People might be limiting their trips to the shop and are bulk buying more. But I agree th

I was curious if they had any viruses.. the following is from their FAQ == We never modify the game archives we provide, but not all of them are tested by an antivirus. However, old DOS programs won't be able to contaminate your system

Maybe they were supposed to use the first ball that was smaller? Certainly came as a surprise to Elon. I notice they let the panel glass bounce in the drop test, which isn't similar to a window installation.

Although as others have posted, apparently the police are not allowed to touch the phone, but people are used to handing over the current plastic license so would likely hand over their phone unless instructed otherwise. It was news to me t
