They were always going to lose some market share once viable competitors started rising, but those are huge numbers

Yeah people are turning this into a team sport but I'm just happy that Tesla created a whole new segment and spurred MASSIVE competition. This is a huge win for consumers and the environment. We have more choices with better technology which costs less.
