Congratulations on launch. But I don't like when number of hours is used to quantify my work. Because x hours of work is not necessarily a good representation of complexity / quality of work. Even the number of commits is not a good metric. I want to know what HN thinks and how they measure their productivity?

Titles may not be summaries, but you would be surprised to know how many people form their opinion about the body of an article based solely on the title.
Your statement about people defending Tesla and Musk always coming across as "try hard" is subjective. I could say the same about you, who consistently criticize Tesla and Musk as try hard, but I won't, because I prefer to focus on the facts rather than making generalizations.
I would have posted a similar comment if the submission title was something like "Samsung beats Apple in July sales by 300 devices" while the article revealed that, year-to-date, Apple had actually outsold Samsung by a 3:1 margin and if it wasn’t true. In such a case, I would consider the title to be misleading.
I chose to comment on this specific post because I am familiar with the automotive industry. It appears that the source cited in the article may be misleading because The data from https://eu-evs.com/bestSellersCharts/ALL/Brands/Bar/Year-by-... does not seem to support the claim made in the title.
In the future, instead of attacking the poster as "try hard," it would be best for everyone to read beyond the title, verify the sources, and engage in constructive discussions.

I did some digging.The title is misleading -
YTD Tesla is way ahead - https://imgur.com/56eG7CN Actual Numbers - BMW registration for the month of July 2024 were up by 300~ cars.
Original Source - https://www.jato.com/resources/media-and-press-releases/bmw-... Quoting this comment -
streptomycin- Yes https://i.imgur.com/ZNv1AyD.jpg Although BMW is making some nice EVs and they are selling more than they used to, the headline is misleading.
ultrablack22 - Tesla produce a lot of for the EU in China. They have a schedule where for each quarter, months 1, 2 and 3, in Month 1, they produce cars. In Month 2 they sail them over from China. And in Month 3, they arrive and are sold.
BMW managed to overtake Tesla in the first month of Q3, barely. When Tesla really had no cars for sale.
