Google Co-Founder Reportedly Got Fourth Tesla Model X
The fourth production Tesla Model X reportedly went to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
Brin was an early investor in Tesla and was seen in the VIP seating area near the stage when the first Model X deliveries took place earlier this week. Tesla CEO Elon Musk kept the first Model X for himself while the second unit went to venture capitalist and Tesla investor Steve Jurvetson. When the fourth Model X rolled out on stage, a woman took delivery and Musk said with a laugh, “Stand in for Sergey? All right.”
