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.
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.
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.
UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.
Or weren't buying many to begin with ๐ค
No they're right, we're bastards
Bloody bastards even.
Don't worry, I wasn't disputing that.
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.
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.
Yeah, the word "think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my statement there...
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.
And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.
Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).
Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.

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.

Globally:
These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame
Iโve heard from Germany but are there any articles about Spain? Spain seems to hate musk in particular, me gusta
You love to see it
This is interesting! Spain and Portugal had in fact a slight rise where others had drops, just a few weeks ago in similar illustrations, but are now among the biggest drops. How can that be?
I make a point of never trusting internet information until I personally verify it. Particularly these maps, which are nearly always incorrect or misleading. The internet is full of worthless information. Mining for diamonds is the only means of finding anything even bordering on worthwhile in this garbage pit filled with AI, spam, and propagandists.
Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.
Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc
Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research
If you do speak Czech, Polish etcetera then maybe you can find those numbers. It's not easy for someone who doesn't.
This is the second result for me when I used this duck duck go query
In January 2025, according to PZPM data, 1,121 new electric vehicles were registered in Poland, which is 0.4% more than a year earlier. In January, against the background of a calm in the market, Tesla showed an impressive decrease in car shipments to customers - by 48.8% to just 103 units. For comparison, in 2024, about 4,500 new Teslas were registered, which gave the American brand almost a 27% share in the Polish market of new electric passenger cars. In January 2025, this share decreased to 9.2%.
You gonna have to pump those numbers down, those are rookie numbers.
If you're having doubts about how much this movement is working, remember this chart. Keep the boycott going!
I won't cry for Musk, quite the contrary... But I also don't know how important the EU as a market is for Tesla?
France and Spain FTW
