The article is talking about car sales, you're talking about revenues. Those are two different things. For instance, a very large portion of Tesla revenues comes from leasing and carbon credits rather than car sales. In terms of car sales, Tesla's share of the market is at it's lowest point since 2017. In most of the world, Tesla sales are very significantly down.


Year over year, vehicle deliveries decreased 13%.

Quarter over quarter, vehicle deliveries increased 14%.

That's most definitely not a "collapse."


A double digit decline is a collapse --- a collapse from the level of hype Musk has been putting out for a very long time.

In 2024, Tesla projected sales to grow 30% in 2025.


Whether or not it's a "collapse" is a matter of rhetorical style. I was just pointing out that you were comparing apples and oranges.


I disagree:

* Vehicle sales represent the bulk (typically, 75-80%) of Tesla's revenues, so I'm not comparing apples to oranges.

* A decrease of 12-13% is not a "collapse." That's blatant exaggeration, not "rhetorical style."
