Tesla demand is nosediving in EV-friendly Europe amid Elon Musk's endorsement of the far right
-
You want to bury the image of Trump being a Nazi shithead? Why for would you ever wanna do that? Your above stated answer rings hollow because you can just RTFA.
-
Teslas have a lot of cameras. I'm not sure what kind of power it would need but its likely you can damage the cameras with a laser
-
This definitely fits the bill of ‘make the problem worse’
-
How would they scale it? I don't think they have the factories even if they figure out the process. Last time I looked they had 2 (or 3?) locations.
-
The thing is that the far right in Germany is nowhere near as popular as the Republicans in the US. And the intersection of Tesla buyers and far right voters is very small. Musk made a grave mistake in the marketing department here.
-
I must say congratulations to Mr. Musk on finally finding that one special picture that will live on in the history books. You wanted to be remembered, and you are well on your way to having the name “Elon” be right up there with “Adolf” when people are choosing names for their children.
-
IIRC this fact also had to do with a German government subsidizing EVs that ended late last year, I could be wrong to. Any German that can help clear this up?
-
Great!!
-
Their factories in Nevada, Texas, and China all have a lot of extra space and/or land for expansion. They've also been considering building more factories in Mexico, another one in Europe, and possibly SE Asia, though it's unclear whether any of those are going to materialize - especially with the current downturn in sales.
-
Elon Shitler has a nice ring to it. #PresidentElon please use this hashtag in all your sm post. We need to sew divide wherever we can and baby Trump really cares about shit like this.
-
These are working class people you are talking about. Please keep the focus on millionaires and billionaires.

That's just a straw man argument.
I'm saying every news article now has the same thumbnail so half of the time I don't even notice the new evil stuff he is doing. That's BAD because it's the opposite of what we should be doing. Which is to recognize all the bad stuff he's doing. But now it's all just "oh he's saluting again".
I even believe there is a small chance they are forcing this image down our throats to make us immune to it.
So again, stop using the same thumbnail all the time, add it somewhere in the article or or post it in the comments or wherever. Because that's all absolutely amazing and I support that.
It's like your phone would have the same icon for every app. At some point you don't even notice the new ones.

I kind of think this was intentional, because the picture before this was the dorky one of him jumping at the Trump rally. I'm sure he prefers this one.
-
Iirc, the subsidy was ~7000€. When the subsidy ended, car prices dropped by roughly 5000€. Meaning, there was a gift for the manufacturers and nothing changed.
Of course, you can't brag about your 40k car anymore because it's only 35k now. And other smaller effects like the ads are different now. -
Hopefully, the Tesla nose dive spreads to his other businesses.
-
people who use teslas definitely deserve some vandalism, but i dont think that would tell them it makes them shitty people. It would more likely just push them even more towards some hateful ideology. They should be made look like rejects they are, not victims. Though maybe if someone was to flip the tesla logo, it looks just like someone on kkk hood, just upside down.
-
I wasn’t thinking of it that way, but you are probably right.
I was thinking he can’t have real immortality so he settled on being as memorable as possible. But in his twisted conservative mind, maybe this is him wanting to be remembered as a hardass rather than an [insert slur for gay men].
-
But that's only 3 factories that they do have, building new ones would take years, they have lost the first mover advantage if they ever have one.
-
If I ever see a fucking Cybertruck here, I'm moving to Antarctica.

I bet someday we (the younger side of Lemmy) will be helping our kids with history homework and get jumpscared by this pic.
