    Did Tesla sell cars below cost

    No. They didn’t.

    They were the majority of the market because they were first. They didn’t drive anyone out, because nobody was there. They proved the market existed. “Created” it so to speak. In the last several years they were loosing market share each year, because there was real competition. Musk going full Rump just accelerated that trend. it didn’t start it.

      They were the majority of the market because they were first.

      And thus almost tanked it when sales dried up. So it doesn’t matter what they cost.

        I don’t know what you’re trying to say here. That’s not even what this is about. You’re way off topic.
