Tesla U.S. sales dropped to a near three-year low in November to 39,800 vehicles, according to data from Cox Automotive. The development was highly anticipated after the expiration of the electric vehicle tax credit on September 30 pulled many EV sales forward on the calendar.

DOUBLE SCOOP! As @dfriedman.bsky.social was investigating a top Hegseth aide tied to a Goodreads page listing porno books featuring "Asian wife swapping" and sex with transgender women, MAGA hitman Jack Posobiec threatened to do a hit job on Dan. Smells like a Pentagon attempt at intimidation.

Nobody should call these "erroneous" arrests. It's not happening by accident. Flooding cities with poorly trained ICE thugs to harass and racially profile is the entire point.
