Almost comical - if Tesla is up front saying they may only sell for 420K cars in the quarter, they try to put a Mud Sling on it & say the haters are just doing it to end upupbeat. Damned if they do . . . . . . . . As for any manufacturer's sales lately? Yeah it's looking pretty paltry all around.
Wonder if it turns on who is giving the info. Social Security 2026 COLA estimated up 2.7%. What about Medicare? Maybe we can split the baby & call it a measly 2.75 % .
The article that you linked to was written in July 2025. The title says the estimated increase is 2.7%. The official increase that was released in early Dec 2025 was 2.8%.
A company in control of its financials would have removed the problem immediately, which is Elon Musk himself.
I continue to be amazed at how often you skip over the best sources and quote unreliable or outdated ones. Here is what the Social Security Administration says: https://www.ssa.gov/cola/ That said, the Medicare Part B premium increase is much larger, so the net increase most SSA beneficiaries will actually see deposited to their accounts, will be smaller.
