From a quick scan it looks like this is data from a single month. I'd need to see a quarter or even year to date to make more sense of this...

This is the inflection point in Tesla's rise and fall, people will realize that Tesla is not great, nor are it's car's. Now, real luxury brands offer better high end EVs and BYD offers much cheaper, similar ones.
Highest valued automaker? Come on! The bedazzled ones who bought Tesla's shares better sell those ASAP. |

Heard tarrifs on model 3 made in China was the cause, but interesting nonetheless.

I don't like Teslas myself but one has to admit they are superior from an energy efficiency standpoint. Regardless of "range", what really counts is "miles/kWh" (like mpg in ICE terms). This is where Tesla is still better than BMW and other traditional automakers. It's like comparing BMW (better mpg) vs. KIA (worse mpg) in ICE car efficiency. For the energy conscious EV buyer that's a main (but obviously not the only) factor.

I wonder if Elon even realizes those were largely retaliation for Trump's inflationary tarrif war against China. 🤔

But it’s a much more enjoyable use of power. Plus we use EA for free for 2 years which offsets any lack of efficiency. Charge there about half the power we use. Note that on the highway the BMW is as efficient as Tesla (75 mph). |

Hopefully they do not lower the overall quality any further to match Tesla profits!

Edit: noticed you have an i5 and we have an iX. We also have the biggest wheels on ours. That explains it. |

This is my July….i5 M60, mostly freeway commutes 60-70mph for big stretches. Try to have fun when available, but this kind of efficiency is possible.

That said, Tesla is a technology company that happens to make cars. Not a car company that happens to develop some technology. I wouldn’t sell Tesla stock just based on the auto industry catching up to their cars. Maybe if there’s some other reason, sure. But not for that reason.
