its easy to grow exponentially when your numbers were small to begin with. once you start getting to orders of magnitude, rate of growth as a % looks much different.
Well I would recommend staying away from this car! Had to have it towed to dealer yesterday since car would not start.car has main battery and computer issues that service dept. have no idea how to fix. They have Volvo Sweden involved in car evaluation. 2 months old and serious problems showing up. Otoh when car was running we were getting 43-46 miles on electric.
We just completed purchase of the S60 Plug-In Hybrid Extended Range.
The real world electric range during the South Florida summer has been from 38 to 43 miles depending on conditions such as Highway vs City driving. i have just under 1000 miles and I have yet to use my second gallon of gas.
I know you have the XC60, but we are considering the sedan, the S60 Plug-In Hybrid Extended Range. Can they make the names any longer so they never roll off the tongue?

The 2023 Lucid Air Sapphire Has 3 Motors, 1,200-HP, Can Hit 60 MPH in Under 2 Seconds
The three-motor 2023 Lucid Air Sapphire will cost at least $249,000 when it shows up next year.
Looks nice. And the wheels aren't totally ugly, like most EVs and a fare amount of late model ICEVs these days.
Maybe you should look into what I have. The Ford Escape SEL PHEV. Has everything you just listed except the automatic parking system. Maybe the Escape Titanium would have that. I'm enjoying the 4 EV modes - EV Auto, EV Now, EV Later and EV Charging.
We could not locate an Escape the way we wanted it configured. It is ultimately for my wife, and I wanted her to be sure she was happy with the car. We probably would not have gotten as high a trade if we traded for Ford, and we did well overall. The Volvo comes with 3 years of complimentary service too.Maybe you should look into what I have.

I have the 2022, but here's an article on the EV modes.
I'm reducing the amount of gas miles remaining so it shows approx. 50-60 miles. Then I'll get $5 of gas to keep fresh gas in the tank. If I plan to go on a long trip I'll fill the tank.
New EV Drive Modes for the 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid Models
Find all you need to know about the new EV drive modes for the 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid models at Brandon Ford in Tampa, FL, right here.www.brandonford.com
Right now 662 miles on the car. Used approx 55 gas miles so far and have an estimated 209 miles left in the tank. Half the gas miles were driving home from the dealers because the didn't charge it up.
I think it's more that a large part of the world, especially in the US don't realize that this is actually happening.
I think the topic here is EV growth, not Tesla growth.

I've tried to explain this to you before. You're still not getting it. Tesla constantly sandbags their production capacity.

Forbes is tracking the biggest layoffs in the U.S. as companies react to fears of a looming recession.

The whole "looming recession" thing is a BS excuse that companies use when they would really like to do a round of layoffs. The real reasons are often not quite as easy to spot, although in this case, pandemic-borne supply-chain issues that mean production is slowed a lot, and thus not so many people are required for various tasks, is more likely the culprit.Goldman Sachs Will Reportedly Cut More Than 3,000 Jobs—As Major Layoffs Continue Into 2023

If that 1st table is right, then Tesla will not hit their 50% YOY growth. It’s the only projection they provide.A few comments,
Tesla is still ramping up two new plants in Austin and Berlin. Compare the 2022 vehicle production forecasts for Fremont versus Austin and Berlin. There is still a huge amount of growth potential for Tesla at its four existing plants.
The other is Tesla is planning for additional new plants. I don't know which - or any - of these articles will prove to be correct, but there's a lot going on.
Tesla is considering sites for new factory in Canada and Mexico, along with the US

6 week Shanghai lockdown. That's 70-80k units. Maybe only 47% YOY growth. Oh! The humanity!
Love the moving goalposts. It’s not a big deal unless you are a shareholder. Can’t be good for the stock. But the fan club might not care.
I'm not an avid investor, but is being off 3% on a 50% projection a big deal to shareholders. Hey- I knew what YOY meant--YAY!!!
The 50% YOY growth was the only guidance Tesla gives. It’s a number they should be beat by 50% for the next few years. Now tell me what YAY stands for.
