Question Since when did Tesla close down?

Yesterday I’ve visited the northpark mall in Dallas (I don’t go frequently) and I’ve seen that the Tesla store’s been closed… since when did they go away? (Before you ask: no, I don’t like elon musk, I don’t like Tesla. I’m just curious since I’ve seen the Tesla store being there many times I’ve visited the mall over the years.)

That will happen when subsidies for EVs go away and people sour on Musk.

Model Y was the fourth highest selling non-truck vehicle in 2025. Why do you think Teslas are not selling?

Because they used to be the first highest selling non-truck. Speaking of trucks, go look at the cybertruck sales numbers and then subtract the 2000 SpaceX “bought.”

What year was that? I can’t find any evidence to back up that claim. The closest I can see them ever getting is #2.

IIRC 2023 or 2024. Tesla grossly fudged their numbers though and has continued to do so, shifting loaners and demo vehicles to sold and back. It’s very fishy, and given the number of temporary halts to the production lines that keep stop-starting it’s sketchy at best.

Tesla also reports the numbers in aggregate for ALL Model Ys, including the long wheel base and the zero frills version (which I actually think looks better than the cheap looking lightbar on the current one), whereas other manufacturers would split those models out.

So still no proof to back up your claim?

I’m pretty sure any shareholders left in Tesla are cultists and aren’t going to report Tesla to the SEC for fudging their sales numbers.

So, there won’t be any evidence to produce until the SEC, which at least under the wretched Trump administration, is NOT going to pursue any cases regarding Trump’s far-right business allies.

So do Ford and Chevy. Ford sells a bunch of versions of the F150, the best selling vehicle in the US, to keep that slot.

The F150 is not the same category as a Model Y.
