You're a quarter behind. Big drop 2024Q1, but you're right that the story has been growth - just slower growth than Tesla has promised, even with massive price cuts, and now we have a contraction. A lot of people dislike Elon because he's a fucking tool and this has to be a partial factor, we just don't really know how much.

According to CNBC, deliveries have dropped 8.5% compared to Q1 2023. That's awesome! I would love to see their sales continue to plummet.

Its kind of hard to find recent data but if you look at all car companies it's pretty much par

You may have facts but there are like 10 people here saying they won’t buy a Tesla so…

[–] Fish@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

But the survey and my confirmation bias say that people don't like Teslas anymore...

That’s delivery of vehicles. Aren’t they famously way behind with long wait times? Actual sales figures would be a better gauge.
