Well, to be fair, solar installations and EV sales have been surging, just not from Tesla.

That's definitely two different sets of clashing memes being mixed there. Right wing - cheering on Oil and Tesla. Left wing - cheering on Teslas demise and Solar.

> Kind of interesting that we should now rejoice of EV and solar panel numbers dropping.

Maybe I missed it in the article but why should we rejoice that EV and solar panel numbers are dropping?

Isn't that a bad thing?

That’s not what is happening though. Solar panels are being installed at an exponential rate, and EVs are growing relatively fast.

People are just happy that consumers are choosing other alternatives instead of supporting certain billionaire. The Tesla solar roof has always seemed like an inefficient use of resources too.

No we shouldn't be but I think the point here is more that "this company's sales are dropping".

Tesla is not the only company that makes solar panels or electric cars. The other companies CEOs also aren't indiscriminately firing federal workers, breaking government code, or doing Nazi salutes. There's no obligation to give money to a company associated with any of those things to prop up the stock

Tesla is no longer a leader in any part of decarbonizing anything, and for good reason: 1. Teslas image rests entirely on Elon Musk; 2. Aging products and no successful innovation.

3. A long history of exaggeration and broken promises (and that is being charitable).

EV sales are increasing, it's just Tesla that is crashing.

Tesla is simply not a significant player in the solar business.
