They've gone from selling like hotcakes, to stacking like them.

Amazing how easy it is to convince people of anything.
Considering there’s a growing movement of firefighters and environmental activists questioning the sanity of the hundreds of Class D fires that seem to be expanding daily, pardon the pun, but this is another fad that’s going to burn itself out.

The Corvette E-Ray is a hybrid.
Yeah, and? It’s still got a limited range on battery.
Pretty clear you don’t understand the point of the battery.
from that article.
Three short years later, and boy was he wrong. Tesla is STILL the king of EV sales, and to rub salt on the wound, Tesla is now convincing one legacy automaker after another to adopt their once proprietary charging standard, GM included. What does all of this have to do with EV inventory numbers in 2023? Let me explain.
The ‘T Word’ Crashes the EV Party
Remember when GM executive Bob Lutz couldn’t stop hating on Tesla? For years, he went on and on about how the then-EV startup was doomed to fail. Making cars was just too hard and unprofitable, he said.Three short years later, and boy was he wrong.

It makes the fire bigger and nearly impossible to extinguish until it’s burned itself out.
Yeah, EV buyers want the best, so they buy Teslas. Other car companies seem to be struggling...
I can't wait for the Highland!
In another year or so, the Model 2 will be released. The big boys are in trouble. And they know it.

Super excited you support American manufacturing and American jobs
. The only production car made in the USA that can compete with the fastest cars from Europe and you make a joke about it.
That video is cause for concern. What happens when the 'legacy', 'big boys' realize they are defeated by the 'big T'? We ought not worry, history shows that the federal kakistocracy will step in and mandate EV heretics pony up and get on board or the ICE car they own will be confiscated leaving them with a choice of going public transportation or pedestrian. So ministerial fiat will convince the heretics that saving the planet is worth the sacrifice. And we will obey.

Sure, and what's the #1 selling car in the world? What was the #1 selling car in the world by revenue last year?
You make an awful lot of a$$umptions, jumping to unfounded conclusions.Super excited you support American manufacturing and American jobs
If you think having the fastest car in the world is the biggest problem facing the USA these days, well…
Are they still #1 if subsidies were removed from the equation? Honest question.
God I hate to give Bill Maher any credit. But when he's right, he's right.
The C8 Corvette was built from the ground up as a hybrid, the first time I saw it here on Bitog I knew and commented on what would be on a front engine car transmission tunnel that was wide enough to take a battery. The battery is small, hopefully easier and cheaper to replace than a full EV battery and a perfect use of the technology.
With a starting MSRP of 105K it is cheaper than a Tesla model S and many times the car. Tesla did well because Musk was the first and CA was his market, the initial Toyota Prius originally found the same market there, they are green lunatics and even pushing their CARB crap on other states and in some legal opinions illegally overriding federal standards.
Once things get worked out and as Europe is now discussing allowing hybrids to be considered zero emission vehicles as they can be run in that mode in cities that do not allow ICE cars, people will catch on to Tesla atrocious build quality, over price, lack of dealership/service network. They will probably not tank but stabilize into a much smaller company. Once the political climate changes (and it will) hybrid will become the norm IMO.

I cannot answer that. The current subsidy started this year, right? The Model Y was #2 or #3 last year in sheer numbers; the Corolla was #1. The Corolla is a high volume, low margin product; the Y is high volume, high margin. So the Y was easily the winner by revenue.
So would the Model Y be #1 this year without subsidies? Maybe, maybe not, but the sales continued to grow when the prices came down. The tax credit further lowered effective prices for many... I'm sure you know the Y has been on a pretty steep trajectory in sales since it debuted.
The Model 3 sales have slowed even with the subsidy because the refreshed car is on the way. Discounts are heavy right now; sometimes an additional $5K off MSRP. You can see this on the Tesla website.
