But this isn't just any update.

We obtained internal $TSLA documents from a number of whistleblowers that prove that Tesla and Elon Musk have been defrauding investors for years in a variety of different ways. But the most important is that Tesla has been lying about how many cars it sells.

The word "deliveries" is a nonsense word. A lie. It has no consistent meaning within Tesla. Different systems at different times have defined the term differently. There are a lot of different systems at Tesla, and the definition has gone through material changes over time.

It gets worse. $TSLA's systems are a mess. They have duplicate ways of storing information, some algorithmic (2 + 2 = 4) and others manual (write down "4"). So, for example, there might be an "Is Delivered" column and an "Is Delivered?" column. For real. But there's more.

In about 2017, $TSLA introduced the "Delivery Count Type," a new way to store information about whether vehicles have been delivered. There are two options: New and Used. But since it's a manual setting, used cars can be "delivered" as "New."

Have they really done that? Oh yes.

The auditors at PwC have been looking at something completely different, meanwhile: scanned paper of signatures from actual drop-offs of cars. The customer has to sign something, right? So that's what gets audited while $TSLA plays database games.

How do we know? $TSLA revolves around a product called JIRA, a bug database commonly used at software companies. At Tesla, JIRA tracks more than just software—it tracks *everything*. Weird A/C smell? JIRA ticket. Console glitch? JIRA ticket. Car catch on fire? JIRA ticket.

Here's what some of those JIRA tickets look like when it comes to "deliveries." And $TSLA has over 150 categories of matters to track within JIRA with approximately tens of thousands of tickets.

So it is now confirmed: $TSLA has been including used cars in its "delivery" reports each quarter for years. The numbers are not new vehicle sales. It's not even clear what they are because the definition keeps on changing, and $TSLA has never defined it.

The documents we received cover much, much more than just deliveries. They also cover $TSLA's accounting software, general ledger, safety issues, Autopilot, and more. Read Documents 178 and 179 (link above) in full to fully understand the scope of these revelations.

Thank you *SO MUCH* to the brave whistleblowers who came forward. $TSLA

It is worth explicitly reiterating for $TSLA's and Elon Musk's benefit that this information has been provided to various federal regulators, which has triggered multiple whistleblower protection statutes.

Don't even think about it.
