Exodus wasn't as bad as on the news. Everyone in this shot waited five hours or less to get on the road.
And our tent wasn't flawless, but it protected us from the dust. Well, until it was repeatedly hit by little devils. Still, it didn't fall down on the car, just got in.

We heard this was coming... But Tesla turned off the tap.
Elon did say they didn't know when they'd be able to fulfill all the reservations, and they have more than they could fulfill in three years... And that they'd stop taking reservations they don't know when they can get to.
