BYD is slowly gaining but its not much. Tesla had only slightly better sales in january 2024 and its quite variable month to month its not indicative of a collapse in sales yet. Need to see this continue before anyone can say Tesla sales have actually declined rapidly.

Well, considering their CEO jumped the shark with a rocket booster. I'm surprised they have any customers remaining and that Germany or the EU isn't considering sanctioning Musk, SpaceX, X, and/or Tesla. Normalizing deviancy marches on with new, unchecked travesties each day incrementally more reprehensible than the last. It's unfortunate and totally unnecessary.

It's more correct to say that Musk turned against Britain.
