Tesla demand is nosediving in EV-friendly Europe amid Elon Musk's endorsement of the far right
-
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.

Why would that be? Aren't teslas the only company doing driving assist with cameras instead of lidar?
-
I think the idea is to show disapproval without actively damaging someone’s car, which could have been bought due to a variety of reasons. Also damaging the car only perpetuates waste, and since it’s already been purchased, does limited immediate financial damage to the company. The ‘fuck Elon’ sticker for example is a much better idea imho

Is it? It seems like if teslas all had broken windows less people would buy them. I'm sure a few people have sunk saved money into them so I sympathize where I can... but I don't know any people who bought a tesla that couldn't afford fixing it. They're not exactly cheap.
