    So is the EV market crashing or thriving? Can someone get these dipshit journo’s on the same page? These publications have been changing direction like a windsock.

      Tesla is pretty much carrying the EV sales.

      Other car brands’ EV sales are still marred by shitty salesmen dealership tactics like markup adjustments and unsolicited add-ons.

      BYD is another one too apparently leading EV sales but I’m not too familiar with them.

      Overall car sales are about to be slowing, but they’re only mentioning pressure on EV’s (that are still growing, but not quite as much as they hoped) and intentionally ignoring ICE vehicles (that are definitely slowing since so many people have negative equity in their overpriced new and used cars they bought in the last couple years).

      If you’re referring to the US market specifically it’s neither crashing nor thriving. It’s growing but very slowly. Each major market is behaving very differently so there’s no one summary you can make for the global market.

      Here’s extensive charts for you of the relevant markets.
