Sorry, but China EV manufacturer BYD just kicked Tesla’s ass around the block and then some.
They aren’t even in the same game.
Active magnetic suspension, 4-motor drive 1300hp, independent turning on every wheel. It can literally climb stairs, u-turn in place on a narrow road & shift itself sideways to park.
I would totally drive this beast if I could afford it. I don’t give AF that it’s chinese. Amazing tech.
T••••’s a Jim Cramer type. Him trying to sabotage #EVs is a bull signal, lol
Elon Musk likes Trump—until it costs him.
Tariffs on China could slam Tesla’s supply chain, raise EV prices, and squeeze profits.
Musk is loyal to money, not politicians.

@davidtoddmccarty It’s the sort of transition that incumbent companies tend not to survive. My guess has been that only about half of legacy carmakers will succeed at making EVs profitably. #EVs
Elon Musk let the EV battery swapping ship sail without Tesla on board.

Trump has said he wants to roll back both emissions and fuel economy standards. Drivers of new models may end up spending thousands more just to fill their gas tanks.

So close! This article from India on EVs highlights youth, community, gender, justice, and decarbonization — everything but public transport!

'KBA said on its website on Thursday that Tesla sold 2,229 cars in Germany in March, down 42.5% from year earlier. The number of Teslas sold between January and March 2025 dropped 62.2% to 4,935 units, compared with the same period last year.
By contrast, the total number of newly registered electric vehicles increased by 35.3% in March, KBA said.'

It’s a done deal—BYD is set to overtake Tesla as the top BEV manufacturer in 2025.
Q4 2024: BYD 595,413 vs Tesla 495,570
Q1 2025: BYD 416,388 vs Tesla 336,681
It’s not even close. Geely’s right behind, and China’s EV machine isn’t slowing down.

BYD dethrones Tesla as world's...
Great line from current read "Inclusive Transportation" by Veronica O. Davis:
"if autonomous and electric vehicles do as they predict, all we will achieve is moving congestion more efficiently, with cleaner air."
Why does Ford want to put a fake manual shifter in its EVs?

Grist: What Tesla’s massive image problem means for the world’s transition to EVs
Tesla has long been a leader in the electric vehicles market. Now it's facing mounting protests and plummeting sales.
"...Tesla’s status as the Kleenex of EVs is now in question. After Musk’s full-throated endorsement of President Donald Trump, his Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration, and his efforts to dismantle the United States government under the auspices of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, Tesla is facing an organized protest movement, fading sales around the world, and a tumbling stock market valuation. ..."
