In the EV market, Tesla's competitive edge is reinforced by growing market share in the United States, projected to exceed 9% by late 2023. Tesla remains committed to safety, with ongoing improvements to Autopilot and FSD features, even as minor bugs and system warnings continue to be addressed.
Meanwhile, traditional automakers face challenges: Volkswagen reported a 42% profit decline in Q3, and Ford's earnings reveal losses in their vehicle division. Notably, Ford's credit sales—selling regulatory credits to Tesla—highlight how legacy automakers are incentivized not to shift entirely to electric.
