Tesla is doing fine. I think the problem is the legacy automakers, not the EVs.
25% of global annual auto sales are EVs as of 2025. 50% in China, the largest auto market in the world. This will only accelerate. Norway is already effectively at 100%, the rest will follow in time.

US legacy auto is just squeezing profits from what’s left until they turn out the lights. EVs didn’t fail, the US automotive industry did.
