Tesla sales crash continues in Europe, with Germany down 70%

Ah, I should have read down further. I'll look those up.

What? A Model 3 starts at 42k (without the tax credit) or 299/mo for a lease. That’s below average for new cars in America, or significantly below average if you qualify for the tax credit. KBB says the average for a new car in December 2024 was nearly 50k.
And sure, not everyone can afford a new car, but very few Tesla buyers are “that kind of income” wealthy.

So? You subsidised him since forever.
Not a peep when he demanded to keep his factories open in full Covid times or plenty more scummy things.
Only when he became a Trumper he was no longer great papa Elon for half of you. -
I see, thanks!
-
The only creatures that should buy a Tesla are from the fucking AfD.
-
My heart pumps purple piss for fElon.

What makes you think I wasn't verbally critical of him? I was telling ppl that were praising him that he seemed to virtue signal and seemed shady back in 2017. I was told I was looking too much into it. But in retrospect...
-
Lol definitely won't, they're super anti-EV after all. I mean, they even want to get rid of all wind power plants. xD

Single Euro Payments Area it's basically just your regular bank transfer in most of europe.

They are on track to be worth less than BYD, the two will likely cross over quite soon.

I don't think he has to care, but I think he might. SpaceX and Tesla are the only 2 brands he regularly promotes as he hopes people forget about all the other stolen, idiotic ideas that have failed.
He has mentioned many times in the past how "owning a Tesla is fiscally responsible". Considering DOGE and falling Tesla sales... it's only a matter of time until he sees if he can push Tesla as "The American Car" subsidised by tax payers and potentially cheaper then other brands (due to tariffs)... I don't put it past him to try to take over all the transportation in the country. He's stopped pretending he isn't just a super villain a while ago, so going out of our way to ensure that the most "affordable" car is his and cripple the nation further by literally controlling the means of transportation.

OK I was generalising.
Nothing in your comment says you aren't be one of those who simply don't like him NOW.
Statistically more chance of that since all I saw for years was cringe papa elon, big brain Tony Stark bootlicking while it was indeed clear for anyone to see what a douche he was (not visibly fascist tho).
But Americans love their oligarch heroes.
Most people still think Bill Gates is a great philanthropist, while he is also an awful person with a more acceptable personality and image. -
I bought a Tesla years ago before Elon completely removed the mask.
No way I’d buy one now, but I also don’t want to sell it early and lose a tonne of money.
The Tesla board should intervene and remove him, but they won’t because he’s stacked it with yes men like his brother.

Not quite but credit cards and Interac e-Transfer.

Trump media stock was fun to watch too up until he won. I mean it's still going to crash and burn, but the election bought him some time.

Dude's living in Model S days

This is what makes Musk's B-line towards Nazi stardom so strange to me. Like, did he think Nazis were suddenly going to start buying electric cars? They literally put nuts on their trucks right next to their bumper stickers using homosexual slurs to describe electric vehicles, all while "rolling coal" in front of every Tesla they see on the road.
These are the people you want to market to?
And at the expense of your existing market? -
Tim Urban put his established "accessible intellectual blogger" credibility behind some truly convincing pro-Musk propaganda pieces on Wait But Why back in ~2015 or so, which at the time were inspiring and felt very believable for people searching for signs of an improving future. For me, Musk fell hard from that grace during the Thailand cave rescue when he attacked that British caver in the most absolutely childish way. I really resent that Urban hasn't gone back to readdress those old blog posts, but maybe he's just another paid shill.
