    No, not making stuff up. Tesla produced and delivered fewer cars through the first 3 quarters of 2024 than it did in 2023.

    Desantis blazed the trail that it is ok to target specific companies.

    I just posted the data for the 3rd quarter. They produced more cars this Q3 than in Q3 2023. TSLA produced 463K in Q3 2024 vs 431K in Q3 of 2023. So most recent data shows them doing better.

    I didn't like that he did that and called him out on it. Can you show me where you called out Newsom?

    Ok, now do Q1 and Q2 for 2023 and 2024, add them all up, and come back and say 'sorry, I was wrong and you were right'.

    DeSantis merely withdrew special privileged status that WDW enjoyed--that's hardly *targeting*--and that wasn't until AFTER WDW stuck its mouse (parts) where it had no business.

    WDW shoulda kept to their (dam)n lane, they still enjoy *privileged* special status.

    Alas, they miscalculated their cost beny analysis, and some how figured catering to the tranny crowd was worth poking their bread and butter family and kids cash cow in the eye.

    Cest la vie.

    You changed your post to make it correct. Original post said selling fewer cars theses days, which if you want to discuss apples to apples, you go to the most recent reporting, which is Q3 and those sales were up. Didn't think I would notice your correction? Thanks for agreeing with me and fixing it.

    Didn't change anything. I said Tesla was selling fewer cars and then backed it up. For the YTD in 2024, Tesla has sold less than it did during the same span in 2023.

    There is nothing to weigh in on yet. Desantis actually did it and no right-wingers were particularly concerned over the Disney situation.

    I guess Tesla may not get special privileges in California - others might. Cest la vie.

    There were plenty. Stop making crap up. You look foolish just making outlandish claims that are untrue. Also, Musk wasn't invited to the Electric Car summit LOL. Sure, only side is doing stupid crap...

    Since Elon buys batteries for Telsa from his #1 competitor, the more Tesla sells the better off China becomes

    I think it's pretty clear to triple digit IQs that I was turning his argument around.

    See what Q4 numbers show. It will be enough to show more cars sold this year than last. Your post suggested they were falling off in a big way. Data doesn’t back that up.
    FWIW US car sales are down about 4% YOY likely due to higher interest rates.
