EV sales slowdown is mostly a Tesla problem, according to sales data

Almost every other automaker is seeing double-digit EV sales growth.

@arstechnica The Musk/Trump marriage is not helping, I'll bet.

They're also in a doom-fluffing loop, thanks to Elon.

Elon pisses off a large arm of the existing customer base, and they start talking smack about Elon, Elon gets more dogmatic, more people reject him, he digs deeper...

Meanwhile, nobody watches the store, they ship a bad product, don't produce new competitive ones and slip behind in competitiveness, fire the infrastructure recharger team...

Tesla, you've matured to the point you have to start acting like a mature corporation, or you're gonna end up dying a broke spinster.

And we have seen stories of "EV hiding" - both sales and hiding stock. I think geniuses at car companies are 'gaming the system' taking payments from EXXON. Seriously. But this is a rant, I only have the articles, the data and past behaviour.

@arstechnica a lot of Tesla model 3 buyers were waiting for the new model to come out.

It's kinda interesting to see the "smartphone"-ification of automobiles

@arstechnica Selling shitty cars and truck like things and loose market share and value should be elementary to anyone except a genius like Musk. Tesla is destined to be the next Twitter.

@arstechnica Let's be real - Tesla has an Elon Musk Problem...

@arstechnica

Elon Musk accepted funding from a fossil fuel industry desperate to thwart EV's.

What did Musk think would happen, when he got into bed with an industry frying the planet & willing to let a billion die of famine by 2050?

@arstechnica This questions the idea that Elon Musk is a once-in-a-generation genius. As this goes against my biases, I dismiss it out of hand, and assert that Teslas are selling really well AND are being paid for in dogecoin BECAUSE number goes up is a good idea WHICH DOES NOT look anything like a meaningless inflationary bubble.

@arstechnica the lease of our ID.3 is nearing it's end. For the next car we need a tow hook and some towing capacity. Not much, but some timber/lumber for renovations and such.

Tesla is not in the race. Never was.

Musk, thinking about a pivot to coal

(to capture the "rolling coal" segment of the market, as well as Trump administration subsidies)

And couldn't happen to a nice trash company, er ah, currently way overvalued eventual acquisition target ...

@arstechnica Their latest model has a full recall against it, they have nothing in the pipeline and explicitly swore off any cheaper models.

Tesla, the entire company, is dying thanks to Musk personally. People need to stop giving him money.

@arstechnica maybe the problem is a figurehead problem and not a product problem?
