The Model Y is literally the best selling car on earth across all categories and people on HN are still calling it a fantasy.

This is just driven by partisan anti-Elon sentiment.

The fantasy projected by Tesla and sold to investors was a growth rate of 20-30% per year.

The reality is Tesla has never accounted for more than 2% of light vehicle sales worldwide. And over the last 2 years; instead of spectacular growth, sales have actually declined.

To be fair to the people on HN, it wasn't them who made Elon partisan. It was Elon himself.

Exactly, this is 100% deserved, even self-inflicted, damage. Not nearly enough.

Partisan or not, certain facts (like sales figures) should be treated as facts whether we like the person or not, right?

It's literally not, you're living in the past. While the model y was the best selling car in 2023, the RAV4 was the best selling car in 2024.

It was the best selling car. It no longer is[1].

And of course, Tesla isn't even in the top 10 for top selling brands of cars. Only about 1 in 50 new cars being sold is a Tesla.

Their valuation is largely based on hype.
