What has reduced is the rate of EV market share increase, not their annual sales which are increasing. Kelley Blue Book expects the US EV market share to come close to 10% this year. It's already at 8.9%.

They are?  Last I saw 2/3 quarters this year their sales were down from last year, and Q2 was barely above which didn't make up for it.

Tesla Cybertruck Gets Massive Price Cut For Both AWD And Cyberbeast

Tesla’s futuristic truck got a more down-to-earth price tag after the electric vehicle maker updated its Cybertruck page.

While it was expected that Tesla would lower Cybertruck prices after gratuitously raising them with the “limited” Foundation Series launch edition, the exact timing of the price correction had not been known.

...

Reservations and availability: along with the price drop, the conventional wisdom is that reservations have dried up.

So they were charging people an extra 20k to be beta testers?

20k for a Foundation sticker... wow.

And? 20k more so that they beta test the high performance models that the next group can still buy, but for cheaper?

It must be worn down to a nub at this point.

The extender will add less range than promised for the dual-motor version of the truck. It will also be available later than expected.

Agreed. They were just trying to cash in on the name. I…am not sure it worked the way they had hoped it would. 

Ford seem determined to undermine the Mustang on a recurring cycle.

How's that Kool-Aid taste, or are you so conditioned to it that you no longer get any sensation when shilling out what your masters serve you?

They should have just named it the Mach-E and left the Mustang name off it. Thankfully they're bringing out the Mustang GTD supercar.

He's ok bending over and taking it and losing 20k for a little "founders series" badge, High performance package = Tri-Motor, which is now 20k cheaper non-foundation series.

About half of all US EV sales are Teslas, and they will be introducing a family of less expensive models in early 2025. 

They will also be introducing a refresh of Model Y, which is already the best selling car in the world. It's currently neck and neck with the Toyota RAV4 for the #1 car in the US.

"U.S. EV Sales Hit Another Record In Q3 2024: '10% Share Within Reach'

According to car trading and market insights firm Cox Automotive, automakers sold an estimated 346,309 EVs in the third quarter, a 5% increase from the second quarter. EVs accounted for 8.9% of the total auto sales—the highest ever on record—marking an increase from 7.8% during the same period last year.

"With improving infrastructure, far more choices, and excellent deals to be had, the team expects further growth in the months ahead," Cox Automotive analysts wrote. "A 10% share is well within reach"

"Ford will pause production of its F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck starting in mid-November for almost two months as it struggles with decreased demand, increased competition, and losses in its electric vehicle business. 

>

The decision to halt production comes as the Tesla Cybertruck has pushed past Ford’s popular Mach-E to become the third best-selling EV in America."

Tesla Has the Highest Fatal Accident Rate of All Auto Brands, Study Finds
 

Tesla's vehicles have the highest fatal accident rate among all car brands in America, according to a recent iSeeCars study that analyzed data from the U.S. Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).

The study was conducted on model year 2018–2022 vehicles, and focused on crashes between 2017 and 2022 that resulted in occupant fatalities. Tesla vehicles have a fatal crash rate of 5.6 per billion miles driven, according to the study; Kia is second with a rate of 5.5, and Buick rounds out the top three with a 4.8 rate. The average fatal crash rate for all cars in the United States is 2.8 per billion vehicle miles driven.

The study also breaks down some of the data for individual models. The Tesla Model S has a rate more than double than average, at 5.8 per billion vehicle miles driven; meanwhile, the Tesla Model Y — the best-selling vehicle in the world has a fatal crash rate of 10.6, nearly four times the average. It ranked as the sixth worst vehicle overall. (The Hyundai Venue took the top spot overall, with a fatal crash rate of 13.9.)

New Jersey Cybertruck owner flips his at a $207K loss 3 months after buying

Quote

With a depreciation rate of over 100% in three months, the Cybertruck's loss in value tops the rate for the Maserati Quattroporte, which had a rate of 64.5% over five years. The first-generation Nissan Leaf's rate was also higher with a 72% loss after five years. That doesn't look too good for Tesla.

Having got back from Florida, I can attest to anyone here in the UK/Europe/wherever - the Cybertruck looks even more ridiculous in person than the photos make out.  Also, they look oddly "cheap" in their production.

I've seen a few in the town where I live and IMHO, they look more ridiculous IRL than in photos/videos.

Really? I've seen one in person and road in one. I think they look awsome.
