A parking lot full of Teslas, almost all of them black, at a shopping mall. Weird. I snapped this photo before the authorities came. Any theories for this? Wrong answers welcome.

Big contract purchase? 
 

Maybe they are waiting for the helicopter attatchments to be installed.

Fleet vehicles for a rental company.

Overstock for dealerships.

Lost lease on a storage lot and are moving things around to different free parking spaces until someone yells at them.

Although they look like Teslas, they're actually Canadian Kias being held by the dealerships to make sales look worse.

They're actually Elon's new spy satellite network. They just look like black Teslas. That way no-one will suspect what he's doing.

They're black so you won't be able to see them with a telescope.

Once they're in orbit they will be able to control anything made by Tesla, forcing all the owners to only stop for food at fast food restaurants.

Eventually, the world will be full of fat, useless humans being rolled around to food stops in their Teslas (like in Wall-E) and Elon / Zorg will be able to control the planet.

Elon pushed the button. The war against the machines is starting.

Someone's 1 key stuck when putting in an order for a customer so instead of ordering 1, they accidentally ordered 11,111, and nobody noticed the error until it was too late.

 

Or someone won the lottery and really likes black Teslas.

 

It's for a gameshow. Contestant wins the car and is given the key and 2 minutes to find the right car and get into it and get buckled in and start it or he forfeits the car.

The mall bought them to look busy to try to convince stores to come back

Tesla has too many new cars and not enough customers.

The mall has too many parking spots and not enough customers..

Either algebra or physics can get the cars to the mall answer.

Maybe they want to charge them all at once and bring the electrical grid down?

A new order for EVO car share

All the cars are black with that logo - that let's everyone else know to avoid them in traffic.

Edit: Hit the road and everything else.

They were driving around in formation and the cold weather set in so they all settled into a safe nesting flock.

As soon as a cybertruck attacks they will all scatter.

A cloaking device that renders something completely transparent means you can't see out. So the newest cloaking device the UN puts on their black helicopters makes them appear to be Teslas instead.

What that picture doesn't show you is the front of the parking lot.  There's a 50' high pedestal.  The cars all put on their Sunday best and drove themselves there so they may hear Elon preach the good word unto thee.
