25% of global annual auto sales are EVs as of 2025. 50% in China, the largest auto market in the world. This will only accelerate. Norway is already effectively at 100%, the rest will follow in time.
US legacy auto is just squeezing profits from what’s left until they turn out the lights. EVs didn’t fail, the US automotive industry did.

Tesla is doing fine. I think the problem is the legacy automakers, not the EVs.
Their sales says otherwise though. They are down almost everywhere.
Hasn't the Model Y been the world's #1 best selling car the last 3 years in a row? Even if their sales are down some, I hardly think you can call them a failed experiment.

The failure is GM.
