You can live vicariously through their lives, as they dropped a minivan shell on top of a model S Plaid "underbody".

That looks just like my partner's ex's Honda Odyssey! It really looks that trashed. He took everything out of the back and uses it as a panel van. He's very hard on cars, but he hasn't managed to kill the Odyssey.

You know a percentage metric is useless when it ranks Toyota second in EV growth. They seem to be actively fighting the transition to EV Toyota, Japanese rivals promise more efficient next-gen ICE engines amid the shift to EVs
Amazing how they also presented the unit totals, right?

Glad you agree with me that the chart title "EV Sales Surge Ahead for Most Automakers in US" is misleading.

Hyundai/Kia may be the first legacy above 100k in the US. That's spread over a bunch of models, though. No legacy or other startup has a model anywhere near the 125k required for basic economies of scale. And with Biden/Trump protectionism it's unlikely anyone will for many years.
Many other automakers are up while Tesla is down. Some of this is due to growth, such as Rivian which was just starting production a year ago. But I also wonder if some of this is due to Elon Musk. I do know people who like Tesla cars, but won't buy one because of Elon and his craziness the last couple of years.
I've been of the opinion for a while that Tesla needs a new, much less controversial CEO.

Yeah this is pretty remarkable and assuming the data is accurate, it's presented very well.
Tesla sold more than every other make on the list combined - but we knew that. What's interesting is that back in early 2023, struggling imports like Hyundai and Ford were dealt a death blow with the tax credit while Tesla was building gigafactories in every corner of the world to try to meet endless demand.
Then Elon...
Now Tesla is suddenly reducing their workforce to match their declining sales - despite having the best cars in their class. And underdogs like Mercedes, who should be going bankrupt right now due to their pathetic failure to transition to EVs, are actually seeing sales of their ugly cars double simply because so few people can make the moral justification for an Elonmobile.

I can not understand why anyone would buy a Vinfast.More like VinSLOW amirite?

They had a really good lease deal. Like ~$200/month. And actually, from what I have seen the cars aren't that bad. (A number of software quirks, but overall not too bad.)
