      "Tesla stock wobbles". What, ~2%? We seasoned investors in $TSLA are used to 10 to 20% lurches up or down. To us, 2% is more like a rounding error.

      It's almost as if Photoshop never existed for the EU. XAI won't generate the images unless asked to do so by a user.  A painter who chooses to paint a pucture of a nude uses the tools available. If it's too spicy, do we condemn the painter or the company that supplied the paint and brushes they used?

      But is BYD as profitable as $TSLA? Is it great that BYD are selling a heap of low margin cars to attain this "title"? Or is it a better strategy for TSLA to divert much of its battery production to support its energy division with margins of ~30%? Will TSLA have a problem selling as many vehicles as it likes to roll out its Robotaxi fleet, you know, a venture that produces ongoing revenue rather than a one off profit on a car sale? I don't think looking at car sales metrics is particularly informative for a company like Tesla.

      BYD Dethrones Tesla in 2025 Electric Vehicle Sales

      BYD's electric vehicle sales surged 28% year over year to about 2.3 million units in 2025 from 1.8 million units in 2024, according to a Monday disclosure to the Shenzhen bourse.The figure surpassed that of Tesla, whose sales reached more than 1.6 million during the year, according to figures released Friday.Tesla's sales fell 8.6% year over year.

      Now if automotive sales were still the be all and end all of Tesla's profits, this might still be somewhat relevant. However, energy sales continue to take off, Robotaxis are going to take up any slack in the market and provide much greater margin than each unit sold would generate. So I'm still relaxed holding my $TSLA. Then comes Optimus...

      More ancient FUD dredged up on cue by Bloomberg. This is a non-story from 2022, where latches are provided to release car doors, but people don't know where to find them. As far as battery fires go, Teslas are about 1000x less likely to catch fire than combustion vehicles (the clue is in the word "combustion"), but no mention of that fact within this hit piece.

      Tesla Is Facing Fresh Government Scrutiny over Its Controversial Doors

      The NHTSA has launched an investigation into the doors of Tesla's Model 3 EVs after a consumer petition alleged they may not be safe in an emergency. Tesla's Model 3 sedan is the focus of the latest regulatory investigation into the Austin, Texas-based electric vehicle maker.Tesla is facing a fresh investigation from U.S. automotive-safety regulators over concerns that it may be difficult to unlatch the doors of some Model 3 sedans in the case of an emergency.The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the probe is focused on 179,071 model-year 2022 electric vehicles. The Tesla Model 3 is one of the Austin, Texas-based company's most popular vehicles and, along with the Model Y SUV, accounts for most of its sales.Last week, the company added a page to its website, saying the doors of its vehicles will automatically unlock and emergency services will be contacted if a "serious collision" is detected. However, Tesla noted that certain features may not be available in all reg

      Ark does tend to take profits on $Tsla following a major increase in price, because that typically unbalances their portfolio and they need to bring it back within announced limits. The headline referencing "Dumping stock" tends to make this look like Ark suddenly went off $Tsla for some reason, but they remain very bullish and have taken similar actions many times before.

      This chart captures Tesla's EV sales woes - and things are about to get worse

      U.S. sales have fallen further from their 2023 peak, and Elon Musk has already told investors to brace for a 'few rough quarters'. Tesla is dealing with sales declines in the U.S., and in much of the rest of the world as well.Tesla is on track for its worst U.S. sales performance since 2022, and that's not the only region where the electric-vehicle maker is under pressure.The Austin, Texas-based company is projected to sell 125,937 electric vehicles in the U.S. between October and December, according to estimates from industry research firm Cox Automotive. That would make for a decline of more than 22% relative to a year before, when Tesla sold 162,388 units.It would also bring the total number of EVs that Tesla delivered in the U.S. this year to 577,097, an 8.9% drop versus 2024. Tesla's share of the overall U.S. automotive market is expected to have declined by half a percentage point, to 3.5%, according to the Cox estimates.Analysts attribute some of Tesla's poor performance to out

      Another excellent "buy the dip" opportunity, courtesy of over-eager DMV officials in California. Seriously, do they think this threat to ban sales in California would stick? Apart from the fact that FSD unsupervised is demonstrated to work in Austin already, so there's nothing really to correct, Tesla could easily absorb a sales ban by using the output to augment their own Robotaxi fleet. But an amusing news item, nevertheless.

      Tesla Faces California Sales Halt Unless It Alters Marketing

      Tesla’s sales in California are set to be suspended for 30 days as a penalty for allegedly misleading consumers about its driver-assistance technology.
