The Plaid, Maximum Plaid, and Roadster in Space to Your Backers

Tesla has announced its Q1 production and delivery totals, with one of those figures being a bit surprising. Plus: Tesla has released another limited-edition alcoholic beverage, some new Cybertruck job listings lead some to wonder if the stainless steel truck is going to be painted (I'll tell you why it probably won’t be), a cheaper Model Y is now officially available, and more!
