    This is 22 sales and it seems Tesla is losing market share already.

    https://insideevs.com/news/601770/world-top-oem-ev-sales-2022h1/

    Battery-electric only (BEV)

    • Tesla: 564,873 and 19% share (vs 22.7%)
    • BYD: 326,236 and 11% share (vs 5.5%)
    • SAIC (incl. SAIC-GM-Wuling): 321,289 and 10.8% share (vs 14.5%)
    • Volkswagen Group: 216,004 and 7.3% share (vs 10.7%)
    • Hyundai Motor Group: 167,305 and 5.6% share.
    Would be interesting to see who most of the top 5 have lost market share too.

    Looks awesome. The frunk passthrough is awesome. The sliding chairs are cool too. If the chairs are easily removable, the cabin will be awesome for moving bigger objects that you don't want to put in the bed.

    This does look like it has some very cool features. Not having the IC infrastructure creates so many options. But, 2024..ugh...

    Sort of wish I had this vs the F150 lightening (that I don't have, haven't been able to order yet, despite a deposit over a year ago).

    Tesla continues to absolutely crush US and EU markets. The only place it faces legitimate competition is in China, where BYD sells cars for half the price. Tesla China just cut prices by -10%, which will likely kill the smaller players like nio, xpev, li auto, and go head on vs BYD.

    Weird that you guys hate Tesla so much in here, I guess you would rather cheer for the Chinese brand, because there's no competition anywhere else.

    If you shorted Tesla simply based on your political beliefs and lost your ass in the bet, you'd be angry too.

    A reliable grid.
    Something that runs over 300 miles between charges.
    Something that fully charges in 15 minutes or less.
    Something that gets 300,000 miles before having to spend 9k to replace the battery.
    Something that costs within 5k of it's gas counterpart to purchase.

    Now that's funny. And if Tesla keeps dropping the price to spur demand, should these people keep getting more money back? lol. I think China's paying something like 25-30% less than the US for their Model Y's and 3's.

    I get it, it always sucks when you buy something and then right after you see that it went on sale or there was a price drop. Nothing you can do about it though.
