Teslas turn toxic as sales crash in Europe and the UK | EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla

Yeah technically it's a HGV, and you need an HGV license in order to be able to drive it.

Although apparently the other problem is that it has red indicators, because in the US they don't have separate lights for brakes and indicators they just flash the brake light.

Give it a couple million years of plate tectonics.

The only acceptable vehicle is a range rover, and even then it has to have mud on it.

[phdepressed@sh.itjust.works]

Most cars have yellow lights for indicators and red for brakes. Even for the US having red indicators is at least uncommon.

Also doing a nazi salute in front of thousands of people with full blown media coverage.

[dubyakay@lemmy.ca]

No it's not. I see red turning indicators waaay more often than yellow ones.

[takeda@lemm.ee]

There's a lot more, but they don't stand out. Look at cars that don't have a radiator and if course a tailpipe.

[professorozone@lemmy.world]

You see there was this little thing called Brexit....

[phdepressed@sh.itjust.works]

You live somewhere with a lot of trucks? Most cars and suvs have separate ones, i don't remember the last time I saw a red indicator other than on a semi. I see a lot of people not bother to indicate but the yellow or orange is there.

[essteeyou@lemmy.world]

Oh right, is that when they moved to a different tectonic plate?

[dubyakay@lemmy.ca]

Montreal but also lived in Toronto for four years. It's red blinkers everywhere, annoying as heck.

Not that many trucks, I guess. Are we talking about trucks only? I might be wrong then. Mostly crossover SUVs.

[gianni@lemmy.ca]

Or maybe if everyone jumps up in the air at the same time.

[professorozone@lemmy.world]

Oh I see what you're saying. Yeah, they probably should have said EU but it's a little pedantic to pretend you didn't know.

[drmoose@lemmy.world]

The TSLA crash going to be glorious, can't wait.

[essteeyou@lemmy.world]

Welcome to the internet.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Doing a from-heart-to-sun salute tends to hurt sales in UK and Germany, who woulda thought. The stereotype about French is that they don't care and might even like it, but maybe this is also about build and design quality.

[b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Anyone still driving a Tesla needs a bit of verbal abuse.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

The UK is technically on a few islands, one can use Gibraltar to argue, of course, and historically English crown did possess lots of land in Normandy, Anjou, Aquitaine and even Flanders, also that union with Hannover, but ahem.

[neon@lemmy.world]

You know exactly what was meant.

VW E-Up is cheap and really good
