Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them

Just this morning, CNBC (business news) had a segment on Tesla. 4th quarter 2023 had almost no growth in sales vs. the same quarter in 2022. Analysts say it's due to the industry slowdown in general, as well as Tesla not having an entry-level car. They do have one slated for 2025, but they don't often hit their target dates.

I'm obviously not ready for an EV, but I like Elon Musk a lot, and hope he can keep competing against the big boys who have targeted Tesla. Unlike GM, I doubt he will be converting his EV plants to ICE production!

On another note, Tesla's Energy Storage business is doing well. Here's a partial quote from an article I just read:
"The company’s energy storage business is booming. It includes both Tesla’s Powerwall home batteries and utility-scale Megapacks."
