There's nothing exponential about the rate of growth of Teslas. Fast != exponential.

You seem to confuse mathematical exponentiation with the common use of the word: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/exponential

On a side note, I doubt that you would ever find a growth rate in business or economy that truly followed a mathematical function.
