Yeah the cyber truck would sell a lot better if it was a diesel.

The headlights aren’t blinding enough either.

as CEO Elon Musk's political activities may be damaging the brand

May be damaging the brand?
I suppose this is one of the rare occasions where we can say without further investigation or study, that it certainly is a result of Nazi President Musk's political activities.

As much as I hate elongated muskrat, this is Not a very good article, doesn't really explore the reasons behind the fall and instead pushes a narrative.

AFAIK there is an overall decrease in EV sales, Tesla is also announcing the new Model Y soon which is probably having a hold off effect for new buyers, either looking for the newer model or a good deal on the older model.

And the viable alternatives from the competitors will also eat into their sales more than anything, Renault R5, new Fiat Panda, new Citroen EC3 that starts from like 20k.

Those who wanted a tesla likely already have one, the rest are taking the alternatives, that are either smaller or better built.

Yes but it didn't because he thought he could drink kale juice or something instead of spending on it. So you just need cancer and a belief in quack medicine.

[then_three_more@lemmy.world]

Yep, seems like you can't buy away stupid

Tesla lost substantial ground in an EV market that was up 54% for the month

There's a big increase in EV sales and Tesla are selling 59% fewer cars than they did last year. That's a massive slump in their fraction of the market.

[barsoap@lemm.ee]

Probably just a Swamp German it's a theme with them, e.g. using "contract the bubonic plague" to mean "fuck you".

[kameecoding@lemmy.world]

Ahh you are right, I did miss that.

[akasazh@feddit.nl]

No it's because of:

'Conspiring against a business' just like he sued advertisers not advertising on x anymore after he insulted them.

[mutilationwave@lemmy.world]

Speaking of different cultures, there's an insult here in Appalachia, maybe the South too, it's "Yer ate up"

I always thought it meant like you're so full of disease (cancer) that it's destroyed your internals. I haven't heard someone say it in a long time, it was more of a boomer thing.

I just looked it up and I guess it's from the military? Who knows. Anyway, it can be a pretty bad insult.

Or helping the brand in some cases

[paddzr@lemmy.world]

This place is just fucked, they're all for damaging teslas and hurting people because they can't reach Elon. Elon personally built those cars and gave them away for free, didn't you know??

I bet same people here foamed at their mouths over stop oil protestors. This place is just more extremists version of reddit

[hikingvet@lemmy.ca]

Can you point to where they called for the destruction of property?

[paddzr@lemmy.world]

"Torched cars"

Or are we pretending this now means something else?

[hikingvet@lemmy.ca]

Yes. They catch fire themselves and we say they torched themselves.

Fun thing about English is that the rest of the sentence can change meanings of words.

[jj4211@lemmy.world]

And Germany provides just the word for me in this case:
Schadenfreude

[strider@lemmy.world]

Money has no issues with fascism.
