Tesla and SpaceX CEO later replied that he could not afford to pay for a mechanic, so he did it himself using junkyard parts. "Could not afford to pay for repairs, so I fixed almost everything on that car from parts in the junkyard. Ironically, that's me replacing broken side window glass. The circle is complete lol," Musk replied.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk announced that Tesla is scaling up the production of Model S and Model X lines.
