Lies, damed lies, and statistics... I guess let's go ahead and have that basic arithmetic lesson.
Let's assume a hypothetical market of 1 million EVs that I control 95% of.
Now let's say that market grows in the next year by 50%, to an overall market of 1.5 million. Of the net new 500k cars, I capture 450,000 of them, while my competitors net 50,000.
My market share, as a percentage, is now 93%. Who was it again that "grew more" in this scenario, and by what definition of grew? I produced 450,000 more cars. My competitors, in aggregate, produced 50,000 more. Yet apparently my "declining market share means I grew less than everyone else" in your exact words. The "basic arithmetic" says that's bullshit by any meaningful interpretation of growth.
As I said above - market share decline is a natural consequence of more competition and availability from other manufacturers but is not in and of itself a distress signal. Nor is it a necessarily a sign of anything positive - nobody's in here trying to make a point with Faraday Future because they've increased their market share by 200% as a result of delivering two cars.
But this thread very obviously wasn't meant to be about facts and logic, it's about feelings. When you contribute contrary data points to a thread about feelings, this is what you get:
