This is the best summary I could come up with:


“EV sales exceeded expectations during a record-breaking quarter,” said Cox’s industry insights director Stephanie Valdez Streaty.

Much of the growth in electric vehicle sales is due to new kit from General Motors, Cox said, with additional strong showings from Ford, Hyundai and Kia.

A recent study on EV adoption from Cox reiterates those points and predicts US car buyers are keen on electric tech.

Increased competition “is leading to continued price pressure, helping push EV adoption slowly higher,” she opined.

2024 hasn’t been a great one for Tesla, which has seen worsening sales declines, an arson attack, mass layoffs, fallout from the Cybertruck launch and more lawsuits than you can shake a stick at - and all that’s before the troubles owner Elon Musk has caused for the company.

It’s not clear how far that market share could dip in coming years as EV buyers begin to migrate away from startups toward companies with established histories.

Yeah, genius thought that creating CyberTruk and turn full Nazi will expand his consumer base.

Sucks for real founders of Tesla, but hey, at least you helped bootstrapping switch to EVs.

turn full Nazi

He’s a Nazi? Like, literally? What’s the latest?

Edit: we’re discussing the down votes for this comment below. I’m baffled, because I’m merely asking for info. Please, if you want to down vote, reconsider, and consider replying to me why instead. 🙂 I don’t care about the votes, I’m just curious why a simple request could be so unpopular. Thank you.

Nope. Lefties like to call any outspoken conservative a “Nazi” to discredit them. It’s like when conservatives call lefties “communist.” It’s juvenile IMO, but I guess it works.

If you let Nazis in your house and kick out people saying they don’t want to hang around Nazis, what does that make you?

It certainly seems that way. I think social media has made people turn on eachother. Everything is dumbed down. Sides are calling eachother names. Its all so useless.

Really? Because the right doesn’t throw the Nazi card around like there’s no tomorrow at the left with their disingenuous “national socialism bullshit”. Only one party/political leaning is actually courting the neo-nazi vote.

He lets Nazis use his platform and calls it “freedom of speech”, although this exact freedom is limited by the wellbeing of others. And promoting Nazis is harmful to not only minorities, but the society in my opinion, as they strive to split the society with populist arguments.

I disagree. It’s better to let naziz talk so their opinions can be argued against. Nothing is solved by censorship. The opinions are still there, you just don’t see them.

I don’t know why people today are so sensitive? Why is it hard to see someone say something you don’t agree with?

If you want to actually solve the problem that those people hate strangers for no real reason, you need to talk to them.

Elon isn’t promoting naziz, he is just not censoring them. Hopefully you see the difference.

Calling someone a Nazi is quite a serious accusation, and it’s going to need a lot better justification than that. I post gay porn on Twitter, and Elon lets me do that. Does that mean he’s gay too?

Thus website doesn’t like any opinion that is anyway different to theirs. They want the echo chamber.

I am wondering why there is such a down vote count on this. I thought there was a new development that he’s actually a Nazi supporter, rather than just letting them roam free on his platform.

It’s not even an opinion. I’m literally curious to know more facts lol.

seriously, I think if Elon could just sit back and shut the fuck up about everything since the beginning, he could have went down in history as one of the greatest man alive.

Apartheid Space Karen just had to go and call the Thai cave diver a pedo because his tech bro submarine idea was dumb as fuck, and his fragile ego couldn’t handle the L.

I wondered if that was the trigger or just a symptom. I suspect, given his upbringing and previous reputation from other startups, it was just a symptom.

Credit where credit is due, Tesla makes some of the safest cars on the road if we exclude the Cybertruck.

What other company sells cars that self-drive themselves into fatal collisions?

I’m talking about crash ratings but as far as I know actual collisions data is in favor of Tesla vs non-self driving/assisted driving cars.

The cybertruck seems ultra safe for the driver. RIP to who gets hit by it, though
