Tesla sales dropped 60% in Germany

the battery-electric market was up 53.5% during the period.

So overall 50% more EVs but 60℅ drop from Tesla. Sounds like he is in the find out phase outside of the US.

In Finland Tesla was the 11th most sold BEV, which marks a fall by 10 slots. Porsche Macan was sold more than Model 3.

Tesla was beaten by VW, Audi, Kia, Toyota, Ford, etc.

People are claiming that it's the Model Y facelift, but that fails to account for the catastrophic sales of the already facelifted Model 3.

Other people opine driving a Tesla today is like driving a Lada in the 90s.

Even if you think Elon is wonderful and doing just a great goodboy job in the government, you have to admit that he can't possibly be monitoring Tesla at all right now. There's only 24 hours in a day for everyone.

And while it's probably for the best that he ISN'T in the office at all, he does still own the thing, so what he does is still a problem for the company.

So even if you ignore that he's a nazi, which you shouldn't, and just care about the car, you can't imagine that Tesla the company is very secure right now. And these are not cars that are easy to just go get literally anyone to repair. So if Tesla fell apart tomorrow, it'd put your car investment in a very bad place.

I mean 99.99999% of people are going to care more that he's, again, a nazi doing nazi things right now, but chances are a lot of those people already knew that and already bailed on Tesla cars. His behavior now is going to affect the people willing to overlook that. Instead of putting out new (and ideally for just about any market more affordable) models he's theoretically more focused on his robots or whatever, and in practice focused only on fucking around in the government and not Tesla at all. Nobody is looking to buy an old Tesla, and he's not doing anything new besides the massive failure that is the Cybertruck, so why WOULD someone buy one?
