He wrote on the message board that he assumed Tesla had found his car gurus list, which contained the chassis number of his car.

“I listed it for a ridiculous number because I thought it was funny. $242,069,” he wrote.

‘Going forward, any future orders you place will be cancelled without a refund of the $100 reservation fee and the $250 order fee as an official notice has been provided to you regarding this matter,” the message read.
