It's interesting what's happening in the auto industry.  Tesla now sells more cars than anyone else in the world.

I think you’re getting value and volume mixed up. Toyota, by a large margin, sells more cars worldwide than anyone.

Yes, I stand corrected.  However, Tesla model Y was the best selling individual car worldwide in Q1 2023.

That’s amazing when you think of such a young company eclipsing the entrenched giants. 

I would love to have a Model Y but just don’t want to carry the cost of owning two vehicles. I’m not giving up my Tacoma.

Ford just laid off another 330 people bring the total layoffs to over 900 from different plants since the strike. The underlying concept is that the parts that certain plants produce are no longer needed since people are on strike at other plants that require such parts for their assembly line.
