Not that I don't love dumping on Elmo, and 50,000 unsold Teslas is definitely news, but all this article helps demonstrate is that civilian satellite photography can distinguish individual automobiles, which is not news. Most everything outdoors is visible from space.

Oh no, I did the math. Just the Chesterfield Mall lot that they mention with 500 cars, 1% of their overstock, is ~48k sqft of bumper-to-bumper cars if using Tesla '24 dimensions. This puts just that lot on the low end of human visibility from the International Space Station.
