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I continue to be amazed at how often you skip over the best sources and quote unreliable or outdated ones.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.

i doubt sales or profits will affect the stock price much. it's more a tug of war between true believers and short sellers
Suppose anything will come of the investigation into the door handles outside and inside in a crash with the battery no longer functioning? Have you experimented to make sure you can get access to the inside mechanical release? Coached every passenger in the back seat how to access that emergency release?
