Tesla confirmed that it saw an obvious spike in new orders after the Super Bowl.

Tesla doesn't advertise. It's struggling to fill the orders it already has, so working hard to get more would just mean people would have to wait even longer. Musk made it clear that while raising prices may work to slow demand, Tesla is actually doing it because it's projecting the cost of materials for the cars closer to the time of their delivery, which could be over a year away.

It's telling to think that just a few years ago, it seemed most legacy automakers were working to "anti-sell" their E.V.s. Few advertised their electric cars, they didn't stock them in large numbers, and at times, some automotive executives even pushed back against E.V.s and told people not to buy them. Now it seems Tesla wants to slow the demand for its cars, but those same automakers are helping the U.S electric automaker sell more.

No matter what Tesla does to curb demand, the orders keep piling on. This year's Super Bowl was packed with electric car ads from various automakers. Now that E.V.s are beginning to come into the mainstream, people are taking notice. Seeing major automakers supporting and promoting electric cars, not to mention their outstanding performance, gets people talking and searching the internet.

Apparently, it also moves people to order a Tesla. The company provided this compelling graphic on page 8 of its official shareholder deck.

My Take: Thank you legacy Auto Makers for helping to sell even more Tesla's with your expensive Super Bowl Ads.
