Tesla’s sales fall 63% in France, Europe’s second biggest EV market

That said: don’t buy a Tesla. Musk is a Nazi. Don’t support Nazis, punch them.

Should I buy a car from the manufacturer that was founded by Adolf Hitler instead?

The software part is odd to me too. I build weird electric vehicles for fun. Things like gokarts, bikes, rc cars, drones, whatever. My favourite part about electric vehicles is how easy they are. Battery goes to speed controller, speed controller goes to motor. Motor spins when it gets a imput. Obviously there is a bit more going into in when you build a real car. But not that much.

And they haven't even slapped a bunch of tit-for-tat tariffs on them yet.

I think they were suggesting that in Europe there's a way best passenger train network and it's possible to live without a car.

I'd say they're more betting on his ability to convince road safety regulators to allow his automated death trap Johnnycabs onto American roads.

I guess that makes sense.

By all the good arguments against VW you had to pick the dumbest.

I think that type of speculation is acceptable usually but their self driving tech hasn’t significantly improved in a while and has been out for years, so those expectations should be mostly priced in by now.

You add that to their falling sales figures and the fact that they spent crazy money developing cyber truck and have had multiple recalls on it already, the stock is completely out to lunch. Usually they’re somewhat in touch with reality. Like Apple is a bit out to lunch but its movement is still news-based somewhat. Not the case with Tesla, they’re not out to lunch they’re out till next year in Tahiti

And you're one of those "oops, I realized I was wrong so I accused someone of being a troll and made my escape" posters.
