I'm just saying the entire industry was down in general in 2019. I believe tax credits being halved in the 2nd half of the year probably played some role in reduced sales as well there were logistical challenges of rolling out the model 3 in China and Europe, etc. I'm certainly not apologizing for their down sales as I find Tesla fanboys extremely annoying but I don't think this is big news for most grounded people that realize ICE vehicles aren't going anywhere for some time and this is more for the EV leg humpers to gain a little perspective.
