According to this Tesla's sales breaks down like this in 2022:

Maybe smart phones are bad for our mental health, but I think reducing our entire experience with the world into mental health is the worst thing for our mental health.
In much the same way as individual people are blamed for CO^2^ emissions and make you worry about your carbon footprint as a cynical ploy, it's a type of shifting the blame from where it belongs.
The thought process behind this is: "your personal mental health being bad must be a personal failing rather than external factors, or else the system would need to be changed. And that simply would hurt profits."
He has a clear financial interest due the Tesla factories in China and the amount of cars sold there.
The company was incorporated as Tesla Motors, Inc. on July 1, 2003, by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.[13][14] Eberhard and Tarpenning served as CEO and CFO, respectively.[15] Eberhard said he wanted to build "a car manufacturer that is also a technology company", with its core technologies as "the battery, the computer software, and the proprietary motor".[16]
Ian Wright was Tesla's third employee, joining a few months later.[13] In February 2004, the company raised US$7.5 million (equivalent to $12 million in 2022) in series A funding, including $6.5 million (equivalent to $10 million in 2022) from Elon Musk, who had received $100 million from the sale of his interest in PayPal two years earlier. Musk became the chairman of the board of directors and the largest shareholder of Tesla.[17][18][15] J. B. Straubel joined Tesla in May 2004 as chief technical officer.[19]
A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five – Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk, and Straubel – to call themselves co-founders

“Johnson found it difficult to sustain his rationality in dealing with war critics. During a private conversation with some reporters who pressed him to explain why we were in Vietnam, Johnson lost his patience. According to Arthur Goldberg, LBJ unzipped his fly, drew out his substantial organ and declared, ‘This is why!’”
Yes, it's pseudoephedrine that you want. Somewhat ironic that Sudafed got its brandname from it, but you can't easily get the original version anymore.
Edited: corrected for availibility of the Sudafed - thanks Blue and Cubby.
I wish I could've told one of my late cats that all those vet trips were not me being mean. That all those horrible tablets and medicines were not being evil. But that's he's very ill and needs those to live longer.
I rounded for the sake of argument. If you look at the overall trend you'll also see that China is the biggest growth market. Why would you think for one moment that any company would cut off their second biggest market which also has the biggest growth?
