So I guess you are unable to find the sales figures.

I found them and posted them.
Very disappointing. According to Musk and Wall Street.

Are you really that dense? I asked you to post sales from 2021 and 2022. You did not.

An oil company lost money.

By Red logic, big oil is dead.

It is EVs, bikes or nothing, kids.

Cannot argue with the genius of Red

2021,.about 935,000 Teslas sold.

2022, about 1.3 million Teslas sold.

Meaning sales."slumped badly" for a 40% increase in sales.

You intellectually dishonest lying twat.

Time to talk about "thermal runaway" from lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles...say 50 electric vehicles parked together under a multi storey building...one catches fire, the "thermal runaway" soon sees them all on fire, the steel in the concrete melting and the building collapsing.

Google "Felicity Ace"...car carrying cargo ship, carrying electric cars etc from Germany to USA...caught fire, sank...some are blaming "thermal runaway" from a failed lithium ion battery that spread fire  to all the vehicles.

From the failing NY Times..

Mr. Musk himself has blamed the Feds aggressive interest rate rises for the sinking share price. But Tesla investors including Ross Gerber, a co-founder of Gerber Kawasaki, think he is too distracted by the travails of running Twitter to focus on righting the ship at Tesla.

Following Tuesdays  stock price drop, a nostalgic Mr. Musk tweeted, 12 months ago, I was Person of the Year.
Mr. Gerber responded, easy come, easy go

Sales of the Maxwell Model Q did not surge as expected in 1922.  As we all now know, it was the death knell of horseless carriages burning the flammable and dangerous "Gas-O-Line.". It seems unlikely they could ever have solved the technical problems of safely sealing the fuel tanks, or extracting octane with the incredibly expensive fractionating towers needed to produce the fuel in sufficient quantities.  The medical community also hailed the decision to move away from such vehicles, given the many arm and shoulder injuries sustained while crank starting the motors.

Thermal runaway...another thing invented that can cause me pain.
I was having a nice peaceful life in pre-'Shady Pines' before all this 'EVs Now', 'Renewables Now' nonsense came along.
I'll be giving EVs and their flaming batteries a wide berth, and who could blame me.
Don't think I'll be the only one.

[facilitatorn]

Nothing will cause you as much pain as the internet connection you so wantonly abuse.

[Yankguy1]

Bambu wants everyone in the world to own a gun and to keep said guns cocked and ready to fire. At the same Bambu is terrified of a car battery.

Bambu is the best.

Red may have to start charging me rent for the portion of his head I occupy.

LOL

You should also be terrified of said batteries, especially if you intend buying an electric car or living in an apartment block with electric cars parked on the floors of the car park underneath.
