All I can say is reading the news on the Internet, all doom and gloom for Tesla. I am coming down a mall escalator on a Monday night, and wonder what is going on around these cars. Connected the dots and it was because the vehicles were Teslas. In a market fully dominated by Chinese EVs. Fascinating, what is going on .
In this same mall are dozens of other vehicles. A awesome 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser pickup, which I would love to have. Also, Suzuki Samari, another unique vehicle.
In the Samurai, I would love to have the U.S. distribution rights for that Suzuki. I would open only two dealerships in the U.S. one dealership in Atlanta, one in Phoenix. I suspect these dealerships would sell all the Samurais that they could import, and buyers would risk warranty service and travel thousand miles plus to buy a Samurai.
I went and looked at all of them in a mall in Miami a while back. There very nice cars. Doesn't make me a buyer of course.
LOL You forgot to mention Roman Pulanski's house on Cielo Drive.....
why do they compare to 2022 figures? Those results are likely years old. EV in general are selling less across Europe, mainly because the government incentives have come to an end and some are going to tax EV now.
For me, with no ability to charge at home an EV never made sense, nor did a Plug-In Hybrid. The gas engined car I bought turns out to be over 15% cheaper to fuel, and was less costly to buy.

Political inputs are a violation of terms of service on this website. This thread is nonpolitical.
Teslas are done. Chinese EV's are coming, and cheaper....Teslas are like Iphones.....throw away cars
Tesla looks good until you sit and ride in one, then they are just boring. I'm not discounting the acceleration capabilities, but once you get that out of your system, the interiors are not very well done.
Tesla sales in China are also in the toilet. I'm sure there are a ton of folks interested in it all around SEA, but declaring things as you are is kind of attention getting, which you have made several posts like this. Good for you, but there is no news here.
Past results do not guarantee future performance. 2025 is a whole new ball game.
This chart (above ^^^) is so lacking so much information that its irrelevant showing information from 3 years ago
You can bring a house to water but ... let's look at some facts. I know truth is inconvenient at times. But I like truth, I could care less about what company.

Does ANYONE know the significance of a 5% DROP in sales from what is the leader? I said this would happen years ago. Tesla was the big deal until the automakers started putting the same engines in their cars. Now those automakers can offer both gasoline and EV's
A 5% drop IS doom and gloom. Sure like any company maybe they will come out of it but it's a gamble. I would feel safer buying bitcoin than Tesla stock right now... oh wait, it's already slammed again.

HUH????
What difference does your post make?
Toyota sold just shy of ELEVEN MILLION cars in 2024
Tesla Sold less than TWO MILLION and that number is down from 2023
So which car company is more successful/ ? the one that sold less than 2 million and declining sales or the one that sold almost 11 million with rising sales?
Tesla has huge problems, im still waiting for the taxpayer gift of $7,500 to go away.

I post what I observe. Here is a thread I started that was unfavorable to Tesla.
Tesla stock price hasn't gone anywhere in 3 years and is now selling at over 100 times what it earns compared to the industry which is around 10 times what they earn. Tesla isnt cheap.
Below is the Nasdaq, Tesla way underperformed

Wouldn't it be proper to disclose you have a long position in GM, and might just view Tesla as a risk to your GM position? I have posted impartial information on Tesla; I don't own a Tesla and don't plan on owning a Tesla.
I knew a very smart and ethical CPA. For five plus years, he went through AMZN's financial releases forensically (2007). He identified Amazon finances were a complete fraud. And I believed him then, and I still think he was likely accurate. But it didn't matter, AMZN's business plan was legit, so the questionable financials were irrelevant.
Actually I dont own GM but even if I did how does that change Tesla's problems?
So no, it wouldnt be proper that I would need to disclose. Why? We are talking numbers here, numbers dont lie. I think you would agree.
Do you think BITOG is going to change the price of Tesla?
BTW GM sells at 6 times earnings and Tesla sells at 133 times earnings, Where is money most at risk? Or how about Toyota at 7.5 times earnings and Tesla who is losing sales and market share selling at 133 times earnings.
Hopefully this helps others if not you.
To repeat though, I do not own GM. I trade GM short term last year a number of times and will continue too because with something at 6 times earnings and growing sales, positive outlook from its terrific CEO it makes a nice short term trade. But for the last time, I haven't owned it this year and I doubt I ever owned it more than a month or two.

Did you sell your position in Tesla in the past 12-24 months? If not, I am wrong and I am sorry.
Malls in SEA are all over the place, unlike in the USA. Generally they work because their mass transportation is also subjectively better, and more walkable.
