    Come on people - I want a EV, but as a used car buyer I’m stuck with the garbage you bought 3-7 years ago.

    Didn’t the EV tax credits go away? I haven’t been following very closely.

    If so, then isn’t 6% growth still kinda good? At least it didn’t shrink within the first year of the “price hike”, right?

      There’s also that cultural shift that resulted in people’s Teslas getting burned or vandalized. I would imagine that some many would-be Tesla buyers changed their minds because they wouldn’t want their new car to get attacked.

      So with the tax rebate ending and the Tesla destruction, I’m oddly kinda optimistic about that 6%. It’s still progress
