As expected.. COMBINED other manufactures are starting to make meaningful amounts of EVs. Individually it is funny how few they sell however.

~~Tesla still sells nearly 10x the number of EVs (BEVs) to the next most popular brand (globally).~~

Correction Tesla and BYD are embarrassing the "REST" of the the manufactures. Globally.

BYD numbers are often mix EV as a combination of PHEV and BEV, their BEV sales have substantially grown.

○ Tesla market share 20% ○ BYD Auto 15% ○ Geely Holdings 8% ○ Others 57%

Tesla only sold 4% more EVs than BYD last quarter

I imagine BYD is going to overtake them soon, as they already have in China. It’ll probably be hard for them to break into the protectionist U.S. market but I’m sure everywhere else would be fine with a cheap EV.

Plus, considering Elon Musk just mooched $60bn off of Tesla for doing K and tweeting rot all day, the writing is probably on the wall. I sure as fuck wouldn’t invest in a company where the executives are bleeding it dry.

"protectionist" 🤣🤣🤣

That was partly me being a smart ass — America obviously loves free trade except when it doesn’t — but we did slap 100% tariffs on Chinese made cars and we subsidize EVs that don’t source materials from China (and a few other “nations of concern” that don’t really export those materials anyway).

...no? This is combined in the US, outside of it it's nothing like this.
