because he couldn't afford to pay a mechanic
In 1993, Elon bought a used 1978 BMW 320i for just $1,400
One day, thieves broke into his car, smashed the side window, and stole a radio worth around $20
Instead of paying someone to repair it, Elon went to a junkyard, bought replacement glass for $20, and fixed it himself
And it wasn't just the window
Elon actually repaired almost EVERYTHING on that BMW using parts he found in junkyards
When the original four-speed transmission failed, he even found a five-speed transmission from another BMW in a Philadelphia junkyard and installed it himself
He kept that old car running with his own hands because he couldn't afford professional repairs

The Tesla Cybertruck order backlog is currently far more than we can make before dismantling the line for Cybercab expansion around June/July next year.
We will add an extra shift to try to get all orders done in time.
You can dislike Elon Musk, question his decisions, or disagree with his opinions.
But one thing you can’t ignore is his ability to make the entire world pay attention to whatever he does next.
That’s influence. #ElonMusk#USA#AmericaFirst
