Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be two distinct common tangents to the ellipse $E: \frac{x^2}{6}+\frac{y^2}{3}=1$ and the parabola $P: y^2=12 x$. Suppose that the tangent $T_1$ touches $P$ and $E$ at the point $A_1$ and $A_2$, respectively and the tangent $T_2$ touches $P$ and $E$ at the points $A_4$ and $A_3$, respectively. Then which of the following statements is(are) true?

($A$) The area of the quadrilateral $A_1 A _2  A _3 A _4$ is $35$ square units

($B$) The area of the quadrilateral $A_1 A_2 A_3 A_4$ is $36$ square units

($C$) The tangents $T_1$ and $T_2$ meet the $x$-axis at the point $(-3,0)$

($D$) The tangents $T_1$ and $T_2$ meet the $x$-axis at the point $(-6,0)$
