"So take a long look in the mirror, you Musk-hating, climate alarmists. By attacking Tesla, you are just ruining your already useless reputations."
"You've heard it countless times. Climate change is the biggest threat to humanity since the dawn of man. Nothing else compares. Well, nothing except hatred of Elon Musk.
"The same people who want to ban gas-powered cars to “save the planet” decided, bizarrely, to attack Musk (for the unpardonable sin of trying to root out waste and fraud in the federal government) by targeting Tesla drivers.
"Well, it worked. Tesla sales are down. Tesla earnings are down.
"But those who are in the market for an EV didn’t rush to buy plug-ins made by other companies. The entire market is down.
"Business Insider reports that Tesla sales in California – a state that wants to ban the sale of gas-powered cars in less than a decade – dropped more than 20% in the second quarter compared with the previous year, despite the fact that overall new car sales in the state are up. It goes on to say:
"The California Dealers Association warned that Tesla’s woes were dragging the rest of the state’s EV market down. Zero-emission vehicles accounted for 18.2% of new cars sold in California in the second quarter of 2025, compared with 22% in 2024, the associat
ion’s data showed.”
"This isn’t confined to California.
"Carmakers sold 20,000 fewer EVs in the second quarter of this year than they did the year before, and fewer than were sold in the third quarter of 2023, according to data compiled by CarEdge. It says that EV market share is down year-over-year.
"Cox Automotive reports that year-over-year EV sales were down 3.5% in June.
"EnerWrap says that sales of battery-only cars (as opposed to plug-in hybrids that still use gasoline but are counted as EVs) “showed the slowest growth in 4.5 years.”
"The Energy Information Administration reports a sharp drop in the EV market, and that “the decrease in electric vehicle sales was driven by declining sales of battery electric models such as the Honda Prologue, Chevrolet Equinox, and Tesla Model Y.”
"So take a long look in the mirror, you Musk-hating, climate alarmists. By attacking Tesla, you are just ruining your already useless reputations."
