The negative news is coming from vaguely respectable outlets, which means they don't generally outright lie, which means they do often agree that global sales are rising in paragraphs near the end. They just put a lot of effort into promoting "bad vibes" whenever possible. I'm not quite sure what the mechanism for this is, but we've seen exactly the same with wind power, solar PV, batteries etc. We're now in the absurd position of China churning out all those things at scales and prices that scare the West, and will have deep and long lasting geopolitical implications. Meanwhile, sections of the western press are taking victory laps, as if they were farsighted to predict this EV slowdown, that isn't actually happening. It's bizarre.
