All is well in the electric vehicle (EV) world. Or is it? Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares may be rallying to new all-time highs after earnings, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the space is doing well.

Dear Quentin, I trust my sister, but think she is sometimes driven by sentiment rather than practicality. I am one of four, and the sister who lives closest to my mom is handling finances for her. Mom is 93, in decent health, and currently in assisted living.  That is the big picture. There is a
