Could we have some facts and not opinions?
This is not an advertising channel!!
Facts. You can't sell what you don't make. Market analysts "projections" are also not facts. But they are presented as facts.
The simple fact is that Tesla has one time impacts from war and terrorism. Allied to this is the fact that Tesla is building out new models and new production and holding back factory builds and changes until the next gen vehicle production is worked out in Texas.
These are facts, not opinions and are backed by statements from the CEO.
Opinions are that these are signs of Tesla failing.
One persons fact is another persons conspiracy theory it seems.
Facts are simple.
Tesla sold more vehicles in 2023 than it did in 2022.
Tesla already has the production capacity to sell more vehicles in 2024 then it did in 2023 by the end of Q4 2023.
Q1/24 has seen production halts which will impact production in Q1/24
This is being used to present a narrative of falling Tesla sales.
Those are facts. Do with them what you wish.
Yes, those are the facts, but it is how you manipulate them than is worrisome.
What impact has war and terrorism had on Tesla sales, and why has it not impacted other automakers?
Yes, Tesla sold more vehicles in 2023 than in 2022. However, peak sales occurred in the second quarter and have declined since. Also a fact. Unless Tesla experiences some robust sales in the next few days (unlikely with the approaching holiday), 2024 will show a decline in Q1 sales compared to 2023, halting a very long string of quarterly increases. Not a fact yet.
Yes, it has production capacity that exceeds sales, but so do all the other automakers. Capacity does not equate to sales.
Statements from the CEO are opinions, not facts. He can say (and usually does) whatever he wants.
Yes, no one know what the future holds. That is why the so-called experts make projections based on current facts. This is done industry-wide and corporate-wide. It is not unique to Tesla.
BYT, the popularity of this thread is highly skewed by the large number of response which you have posted. I did a quick summary, and 37% of the posts in the month of March were yours. How can we be sure that you are not a corporate troll?
