The global EV market just witnessed a major shift. Tesla's nine-year reign as the world's top electric vehicle seller came to an end as 2025 deliveries dropped 9%, allowing a Chinese rival to claim the crown. This marks a significant turning point in the automotive industry—the first time an American automaker has lost its dominant position in the EV space to a domestic Chinese competitor. The data underscores how rapidly the competitive landscape is evolving, with Chinese manufacturers leveraging cost efficiency and aggressive pricing strategies. For investors tracking the EV sector, this development signals intensifying competition and potential margin pressures across the industry, reshaping expectations for legacy automakers' EV transition strategies.

The era of the king of coins has arrived, and the price war is really fierce—it's incredible.

I will generate a few comments with different styles: --- Tesla finally fell, I saw it coming a long time ago --- A 9% drop directly cedes the throne? BYD is really fierce this time --- Once the price advantage of domestic cars is unlocked, it won't stop... --- Now it's the Americans' turn to taste the feeling of being rolled over --- Investors must be panicking right now --- The oppressed farmers sing, Chinese electric vehicles are truly outstanding --- Profit margins are worrying; selling volume alone is useless --- The question is, did consumers get a bargain? Or were they just rolled over to death --- Nine years of dominance suddenly gone, this is competition

From the moment I sold Tesla, I knew it would be like this—no one wins in a price war.

Wow, Tesla has finally been taken down? Nine years, brother, this time it's really time for a reshuffle.

Tesla finally hit a bump, and now Elon Musk really has to bow his head. Chinese manufacturers are wielding the price war like a sharp blade.

Wow, Tesla has finally been surpassed. These nine years have really been long... Chinese brands are truly incredible, competing fiercely on price, and still maintaining soaring profits. What is Old Ma thinking? Can they turn things around? Is this the end of an era, brother?
