I agree that "it is what it is"... but what is it? Between govt tax incentives and Tesla slashing their prices, the market is clearly being manipulated so the fact that the Tesla Y is the best selling vehicle in the world means what going forward? Do people love Tesla Y's or are sales being artificially inflated and are unsustainable?
Your own data... or if not yours, data you did not refute... shows that on vehicles without incentives sales are anything from soft to tanking depending on the vehicle. So what does that mean? Is that the true market?
In my job I have to recommend doing, or not doing, really expensive things based on relevant data. So I am pretty good at parsing information and determining what is useful and what is not.
This car sales data is not telling me anything about where the future will land. Add in my personal feelings about the unknowns and I have an opinion, but it is certainly not data based because the data is inherently flawed.
My opinion is that EV's will do just fine, but not because people necessarily want them but that the Govt will do some combination of paying people to buy them and shoving them down our throats.
I suspect that is also your companies position, which is fine, but the data is not telling us that people are clamoring to buy EV's because the data is pretty much worthless.
