Title is misleading: more than half of Teslas that _are being traded in at dealerships_ are traded in for gas cars.

What is more misleading is that the article shows the trending is going downwards, more people than ever is trading their Teslas for other EVs. The only relevant conclusion seems to be the one in the article: as the offering of EVs from other brands increase, more people opting out of Tesla can stay in the EV market.

Even with the downtrend, is it not interesting that half of customers that trued Tesla went back to gas? Wonder what the broader EV owner stats are… how many try EVs and go back?

Yep, that's exactly it, and the only conclusion you can draw from this misleading article. I've flagged it, I recommend everyone do the same.

IOW, it doesn't count anybody who traded in their Tesla for another Tesla? AFAICT in my experience that's the most common trade.
