@UkNorthampton In another thread you was constantly going on how the EV market is growing in this country from fleet sales making up for the drop in private sales. So the EV market in the UK has grown, so Tesla's sales numbers should also be growing, not dropping if they were maintaining their share of the market.
Fleet is probably turning away from them for the same reason Hertz did, there's no guarantee of price stability and more dependable residuals with Tesla.
Tesla's stock price as others have mentioned depends on massive rapid growth. That's not the case and it's not from a lack of increased EV sales overall, it's from increased competition and cheaper cars from the Chinese also. This is why Elon doesn't care about the cars much anymore, he's many things but I don't think for a moment he's stupid. He's seen he's already lost the fight with cars and while I'm not saying they'll go out of the market, they cannot keep their stock price from selling EV's. It's absolutely why he cares about FSD and Optimus and cars is now just their large but uninteresting business that generates the cash to fund the work on FSD and Optimus until they are ready.
