You also typically can’t be punished for not completing work unless it is proven to have caused damages. If a plumber decides not to complete plumbing work and it causes your project to be delayed or your home to be damaged because you couldn’t hire a different plumber then yes, but if you just don’t pay them and hire a different plumber it’s not a big deal and courts treat it as such.

For the vast majority of an employees time at an employer they are actually OWED WAGES from the employer instead of owing the employer work. In North America and anywhere I have worked it is always a pay period ending in a paycheque and not a paycheque followed by me completing the work. On the second day of my pay period my employer owes me for the first day I worked but has not yet paid me for that time yet, I do not owe them work but they do owe me wages if that makes sense. It’s a wild way to look at you owing your employer work when they carefully structure almost all aspects of the job market to never make that true so they never have to go through the awkward process of forcing someone to work against their will or attempting to recoup money they paid for work in advance.

I didn’t look it up lol it was in the article with those numbers and pretty much the exact wording. Even the 65% in first 9 months of 2022 is in the article, that’s what the article is about and they give more detail than the headline in the body of the article.

About 80% in 2018-2020 and then dropped to 71% in 2021 and projected to continue dropping, in the article it says approximately 65% of the electric cars sold in the first 9 months of 2022 were Teslas. That being said the market is also growing so even with rapidly losing market share it’s clear Tesla will see sales continue to grow for the foreseeable future I think.

It wasn’t really close to 100% before (I think 80% is distinct from 100%) and the drop is significant enough that it’s worth calling out, a drop from 80% to 71% market share in a single year is going to make some headlines and then continuing that trend down to an estimated 65% in 2022 is a pretty big 15% drop in market share over just 2 years especially when the market is growing so fast. It means other manufacturers are late to the game but picking up market share even as the market grows which is impressive and something to look out for if you are a Tesla investor since their market valuation seems to be based on electric vehicles growing a lot and Tesla retaining their market share.
