40% growth in deliveries and 47% growth in production? But Reddit told me no one wanted to buy a Tesla because of Elon musk.

If you say anything good about Elon or Tesla on Reddit you're going to get downvoted.

Tesla has sold more EVs than any of those brands every year. Toyota would beat them only if you include hybrids. You didn’t mistake 2018 data as that would still prove you wrong.

Doesn't even make any sense - Tesla sold ~250k in 2018, still more than Ford, Toyota and Chevrolet in 2022 combined.

That's last year. At the end of last year, several things happened.

Prices were slashed.

Share price dropped.

Musk insulted his customer base.

… after 25% (or more in some cases) price drop.

Fun story: Tesla can lower the price to the consumer because Tesla sells the car to the consumer. GM and Ford can't even get their dealers to sell their cars at MSRP.

Pretty sure they lowered their prices after the year ended, having no impact on there numbers.
