Last MONTH (October) BYD sold 500K EVs. The US is propping up Tesla by keeping BYD out. I’ve driven several and they are great cars, much nicer than the aging Tesla line.
That's why the US car market is so 'unique' and American brands struggle in foreign markets.
They then squandered that and are back where they were in the 70s, or worse.
Why is their stock price flat tho?
... Wait, really, it was that low?! VW AG sold about a million BEVs last year; at this point Tesla may actually be in third place (or even fourth, depending on what Geely's up to these days).
I took screenshots of the prices I have paid because I was so happy with only having to pay $7 to get across my city.
Apple killed their car program years ago. I know because I work there.
>aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore.
That may be your personal political take, but there is no evidence that politics are slowing their growth in a meaningful way. There is still strong interest in Tesla products, products like Starlink are growing at an incredible rate, Starship launches command huge livestream viewership, there's an entire industry of Youtubers which break down and discuss the engineering and logistics of SpaceX rockets.
Musk got a lot of favors and basically his way with the out going power holders, its why he spent so much so the party wouldn't end.
One I was just reading about (while looking for Hinojosa's first plans, cleaning up the education department); was there was a quiet deal being worked on for spaceX to buy a beachfront state park [0] and that she remarked about Texas no longer being for sale.
I wouldnt be surprised if all the investigations into his companies deals happen. The attorney general got ousted for a democrat too who already said there will be a massive overhaul to how the office is used -- no more being maga's private law firm. Lets hope Musk and his companies did everything above board when working the massively corrupt outgoing gang.

Starlink is a Tesla product? Both SpaceX and Tesla are counting it as their sale, wow!
Starlink is a Musk product.
There you go, now you understand.
Those are at Musk's companies already.
no
Regardless of whether private Tesla owners end up participating in the robotaxi market it does seem obvious that self driving taxis are going to be huge. Waymo and Cybercabs are growing quickly and will almost certainly completely dominate the market. Why would you ride in a Uber with a stinky driver (and pay more) when you could ride in a self driving taxi without a driver for cheaper?
We should set a safety bar, and any method of achieving that bar should be fine. I'm fine with "N miles driven per injury."
It's not stupid if it works.
My guess is that you have ridden in an Uber or Lyft before and were comfortable enough to rely on their eyeball based system even though they weren't able to measure the distance to objects.
Regardless of whether you personally trust a camera-based system, the data do seem to show that it is possible to build a camera-based self driving system and have it be safer than human drivers.
What data? I don't really trust Tesla to release accurate data.
I think Elon Musk says a lot of things.
