Market saturation !== 100% total market share.

iPhone has a 25% market share, yet everyone who wants (and can afford) an iPhone has one, i.e saturated. It means either innovation or price drops are required for further growth.

I'm fairly confident that not everyone who wants an EV has one already.

Right. But everyone who wants (and can afford) a Tesla has one. And that's about 4.2% of the total US market it seems. Sales growth has ceased entirely for them since 2022.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. But feel free to provide numbers to prove you are right.

They should probably design a cheaper mass market car at some point...
