Tesla stock is down over 6% over the last five days but the market seemed to be expecting Friday’s news about EV deliveries.<\/b>
\nTesla has officially ceded its long\u2011held crown as the world\u2019s top electric\u2011vehicle maker, with China\u2019s BYD now firmly in the lead after a year of surging sales in Asia and stalling demand for Elon Musk\u2019s cars. The changing of the guard comes as Tesla reports its second straight annual drop in deliveries, underscoring how quickly the balance of power in the global EV race has tilted toward China. It also comes after the end of federal subsidies for EV purchases in the U.S. from Musk\u2019s on-again, off-again ally President Donald Trump, a move that Ford CEO Jim Farley predicted in September would cut the EV market in half.<\/p>\n
