When they've blown more than a third of their market lead with poor build quality, poor customer service, and a CEO that is actively pushing away both consumers and advertisers? Yeah I do think that's blowing it. They had a golden goose and then they kicked it enough times that it's stopped laying eggs.
And yes, other EV makers are outstripping them, that's how they lost nearly 30% of the market share. That's a third of the entire market for EV cars, that they previously had in their pockets. Not outstripping in sales, yet, maybe - but the build quality and reliability (or rather, the notoriously poor quality and unreliability of Tesla in particular) are pushing customers that direction in record numbers. Name me any other company that lost 30% of their market share in two years and called this fine. I'll wait.
Hah, you're nuts man.
Apple invented the smartphone, so in 2007 they had 100% of the market share. But when Android phones began arriving, they started getting some of that market. Years later many different manufacturers started selling Android phones and Apple's market share dropped below 50%. Is that Apple squandering their lead, or is that just inevitability once the public had more options? I mean if you represent 5% of the brands competing, why would you expect to hold 75% of the market? That's crazy...
I'd argue that there is no company that could maintain 75% market share in any category of car sales, and failing to do the impossible is not the same as mismanagement. But hey prove me wrong if you can.
