I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this comment - " from what I have heard, the customer list of those who paid deposits in shrinking"
Yes it is - because those who placed "deposits" have now placed their "orders", so I suppose he is correct - the deposit list is shrinking.
Or perhaps I have got it wrong - perhaps, just perhaps, INEOS, the same car company who wouldn't give him an actual car, actually deems him such an important individual that they are secretly feeding him sensitive corporate sales data knowing that he can be trusted to keep said information to himself, and not broadcast it on Youtube.
