Fuck Elon, but I am starting to feel bad for the guys who just wanted to make an electric car. They didn't deserve to get wrapped up in this monkey's paw. I hope they got out while they could.
Ive heard literally 0 shit being flung at the people who work at Tesla. This is the first time I even considered whether this was bad for them.
They likely are losing money though since I think part of their pay is in stock. The stock is overvalued though still.
I dont know, if I worked for Tesla I'd probably consider this a wash.
I'm ashamed of the UK and Italy.
Not so long ago it was up in the U.K., so this is a start.
No shame.
I view it as a friendly competition between Europeans. Right now, Spain is in the lead. UK and Italy are trailing but they're still racing in the right direction. I'm cheering for them to catch up.
Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.
UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.
Or weren't buying many to begin with ๐ค
Average .ee user
Not sure about figures but thereโs plenty on UK roads.
No they're right, we're bastards
Don't worry, I wasn't disputing that.
Bloody bastards even.
Thatโs not how percentages work.
It's not, but there's probably another proportion of the overall community that are "I like Musk and I have money, so I'm going to buy a car". That number isn't related to the previous number of sales, so if sales are already low that "arsehole" number would become more significant.
It's a made up example, but just saying there may be ways in which the sales won't drop below an absolute number.
These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame
Why are the rich so stupid? Just pretend you care about human rights and your sales go up. It's so simple. Why can't they even put up the facade of being a normal person?
That was the last era. Now we're in a masks-off gilded age where the ultrarich think they can do it all out in the open.
So far the American Ultra-rich have been doing well when they didn't get Luigi'd.
why is Felon Musk not getting fired for poor performance.
From the government? Because he bought it.
From Tesla? Because he is the largest individual stockholder.
And the board is made up of his toadies.
You love to see it
In gonna need England and Italy to pump them numbers up.
In Italy the percentage is low because not many Teslas are sold anyway
That's not how percentages work, doofus.
We weren't buying them from the start.
Italy poor.
Not really. Tesla sold 3469 cars in Italy last quarter. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/teslas-new-car-sales-italy-down-7-first-quarter-despite-51-jump-march-2025-04-01/
Is that supposed to be a lot?
For the first two months 19,046 Teslas were sold in the EU. So per capita sales are a bit below average in EU terms.
I'm poor.
That's my reason for not buying a Tesla, though.
Did you a word, or would you buy one of you had money?
I believe it is to do with the difference in the starting number of registrations but would need to see the data broken down.

Iโve heard from Germany but are there any articles about Spain? Spain seems to hate musk in particular, me gusta
