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

Our plant hire is delivered by a 20 year old mondeo. Van have more room for the work stuff and are plenty comfortable for motorway travel. Our off road vehicles are outlanders and vans are everything from mercedes to renault. Never had a problem that a pick up would have resolved.

I'd judge Tesla drivers if they bought the car this year.

[neo2478@sh.itjust.works]

Fair enough on the price. We got a used 2021 for a lot less than that and it’s the perfect car for us. It’s surprisingly spacious inside. This is coming from a 195cm overweight guy.

[kurcatovium@lemm.ee]

Do you drive it with family?

[neo2478@sh.itjust.works]

We’re only two so I understand we’re in a special situation. Kids would fit fine in the back, but with teenagers and adults it gets a bit tight.

Also, for some perspective, my normal driving position, the seat is somewhere in the middle of the movement range. Not all the way to the back.

the white flag stereotype for France comes from 2003

It actually comes (unfairly) from the French army mutinies of 1917 and (also unfairly) from France's surrender to Hitler in 1940, in addition to their not joining in the fun in Iraq. All of which obscures a prior thousand-year history of kicking the shit out of people.

Doing a nazi salute while making the Mussolini face, no less!

WW2 is more of a call of duty plot

It's the war Tom Hanks won.

Elon Musk should have his wealth forcefully redistributed

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

Rich people don't have human emotions.

Being rich literally turns you into a sociopath or psycopath.

Hoarding that much excess wealth induces mental disorders.

The only solution is to redistribute their wealth

[softestsapphic@lemmy.world]

The stock has been overinflated for years, it's a grift detached from reality.

The stock market is now literally just a rigged casino where 90%+ of the stocks are owned by the rich.

[bzah@discuss.tchncs.de]

Thanks, I was not aware of that.

[southendsunset@lemm.ee]

lol. Stupidly I didn’t consider that anyone would still buy one. New or secondhand.

[frostbeard@lemmy.world]

Read that Tesla pushes December in Norway for padding end of year numbers, resulting in a stagnant January. I think that concutive stagnant months is what would indicate how sick we are with Musk

Hoarding that much excess wealth induces mental disorders.

I was wondering if epigenetics may speak to that, in some cases

The only solution is to redistribute their wealth.

For the rest of us. I'm curious if it addresses the sociopathic tendencies of the original wealth hoarder?

ETA: that was a quick search for that study and I certainly don't understand it well.

[ripcord@lemmy.world]

Get trump to tariff them. Or buy them, like Greenland!

[tja@programming.dev]

Their news cars are more expensive and more weird than the old ones, while the competition has been catching up, so it might be that, too...

[regrettable_incident@lemmy.world]

Yeah, I mean who is their market now? Anyone who isn't a nazi or ignorant isn't going to want to be seen driving one. And I get the impression that right wing folks are more into fossil fuels.

[regrettable_incident@lemmy.world]

Yeah, fascism seems to be flourishing all over. I've never got the impression that France was any worse than anywhere else though.

[regrettable_incident@lemmy.world]

You know it was the French revolution that popularised the guillotine as a means of dealing with wealthy elites?

But yeah I don't see how Tesla is going to ever repair the damage to their image, unless they can kick musk out and that doesn't seem likely.
