Yep. If you remember, in the 4th quarter, the talking points where how BYD has passed Tesla as the largest EV manufacturer in world...based upon one quarter.
Now that is off the table and the year over year is what is used since it fits the narrative.
Tesla has a bad quarter, no doubt. But it was far from the only one. Plus, Tesla had the 4th highest month of production in China, negating an article claiming Tesla was slowing down its China output.
