Has Tesla peaked? And what would that mean for the climate?

in a remarkably short period of time, the electric vehicle business appears to have untethered itself from Tesla.

Tesla no longer being the leader in EV production can only be good for global Climate, given that the CEO is a right-wing moron who doesn't actually care about real solutions to climate change. People getting rid of their ICE cars and replacing them with bikes and public transportation will be the ultimate solution, but good luck convincing Americans.
- Wasn't it just last week there was an article on Lemmy stating the demand for ebikes was higher than for electric cars in the first quarter of 2024?
I want to believe there's a critical mass of competition in the market already, but I think it's still fragile. They'll keep making cars but with Musk huffing his own fumes...I don't think Tesla has a bright future unless they get rid of him.
- Yeh, but then the govt can throw the cost burden on the average citizen instead of constructing and maintaining public transportation. The less money they put towards infrastructure, the more they can use for... allegedly, other things.
Tesla was here to save the auto market not the climate
