Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I found this part the most interesting. I was under the impression that EVs in general were on a downturn, but it seems it is only Tesla. Time to remove Elon from Tesla.
The EV naysayers are likely to blame for that impression. EV growth rate has declined. EV sales are still growing, just at a slower rate that before.
I bought an EV in November and everyone in my red state loves to ask me questions about it. Some start in a condescending place but most are genuinely interested in them.
What model?
I wonder why that would be a starting position.
It's a KIA EV9. Was the only one with a functional 3rd row that isn't $80k+. I enjoy it so far.
It's the initial redneck response in my experience. They assume it's slow, complicated, and unreliable. They usually want to sneak in a "you know you still power that thing with coal" comment as well. Even if they don't say it you can see it in their eyes. I will usually mention my solar panels and offer to race them in their truck 😎
I think they're on a downturn in the US with interest rates being so high and rebates evaporating away, but globally they're doing well with all the shenanigans going on in China as well as Europe being more forward thinking.
Incentives evaporating, chargers not getting built, legacy manufacturers backing away from EVs on the promise of cheap gas, revoked efficiency requirements, and no regulation of carbon emissions. US never did get to the point of a healthy EV ecosystem, and now we step back to square one
It's pretty weird to watch markets - S&P 500 is down more than 3% this week, while international index like VXUS has gone up nearly 1% this past week.
Seems like little d and fElon are doing a helluva job. I think this kind of thing is....rather unusual. VXUS did have a bad day today, but still not as bad as S&P.
