LOL! Competition is getting crushed, some of it leaving the EV market entirely.

Peak Elon Derangement Syndrome. Take the L, you're out of your league and your own sources proved you wrong.

> [US EV] sales in Q3 2026 were down 39.5% from a year ago whereas Tesla was only down 2%.
Tesla's global sales were down 2%. Their US sales were down 20%. Tesla's decline itself constitutes 1/5th of the overall US decline.
While Tesla's US EV sales fell 20%, Rivian's grew 45%, and Toyota climbed 328%.
You're aware that "they're in a cooling sector" is not a good rebuttal to "their core business is endangered," right?

You're so right, king. Elon is pivoting out of cars because they're just crushing it tooooo hard in the car business. Excellent response. The [X] Derangement Syndrome formulation is just shorthand for "I've decided to shut my brain off."
