While Tesla’s global sales have taken a significant hit during the first quarter of 2025, the electric vehicle (EV) brand has seen a boost in sales in Ukraine.
Increased competition from lower-cost Chinese EV manufacturers have made Tesla prices more affordable for some Ukrainian consumers.
According to Ukraine's Association of Car Manufacturers, the demand for electric vehicles was on the rise in February and March, with Tesla leading in sales of used electric cars.

What kind of nincompoop is both Ukrainian and still trusts any Elon musk tech
- It's literally just "give me the cheapest car on the lot" and Teslas are bottom of the barrel
  
  This. They just need vehicles that go forward, and occasionally backwards. Whatever's cheapest works best.
- Ukrainians have been buying John Deere tractors for years… and reprogramming them.
  No reason why they couldn’t do the same with Teslas.
- probably taking the batteries for their home built drones
  
  Or taking components to build more drones as china fucks the strategic metals market? I'm just f guessing
  
  that is what i said
  
  I must have replied to the wrong comment sorry
  
  I'd imagine that they good l could also be converted into decent power banks for homes during outages
