Tesla's sales plummet across Europe

[beigeagenda@lemmy.ca]

Yeah probably, but if this forces Tesla to close all factories outside America.

[blacklazor@fedia.io]

You mean Porshe or Volksvagen?

[frazorth@feddit.uk]

That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They'll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

[droporain@lemmynsfw.com]

BMW, fanta, Kodak, Hugo boss... The Pope lol

[notsoshaihulud@lemmy.world]

“fun” fact, Porsche, the guy who founded the car company was a card carrying nazi. Pretty devoted. Just a great example of how the actual elites can support and benefit from insane wars without long term consequences.

"I mean did he have a choice? Think of the poor ceos" /s

[skaverat@discuss.tchncs.de]

you mean "police needs to buy more cybertrucks, so they always have a bunch of spares when they break down due to a puddle"

[yournamehere@lemm.ee]

next the number of not yet deceased tesla owners will shrink too.

[slopppyengineer@lemmy.world]

I can't go anywhere without seeing a few memorials of world war 2. They're everywhere so we wouldn't forget.

[betablake@lemmy.world]

Those cars are crap anyways people should have stopped buying them for that reason alone years ago

[frazorth@feddit.uk]

Ha, you think that the backups even arrive to replace/repair? They'll break down in transit!

[kokesh@lemmy.world]

Nice! Fuck miso and that orange asshole.

[lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com]

Great... US cars finance a Nazi supporter and Chinese cars are spy machines on wheels... Maybe, German cars are superior in the end...

[filister@lemmy.world]

That's uplifting news.

It’s more likely to be political apathy with the Brits. Most of us don’t seem to get and/or bother about politics…also only around 25% of the country were dense enough to vote for Brexit.

[voroxpete@sh.itjust.works]

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, fuck Musk. On the other hand, the US replacing huge fleets of gas vehicles with electric and building out all the attendant infrastructure would be a huge climate win.

[dirigibleprotein@aussie.zone]

[buffalox@lemmy.world]

Yeah you are probably right, as the saying goes: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
But them again Brexit was mostly about xenophobia, which is both.

[thomascrappersghost@feddit.uk]

I’d say you’re a bit right also. People here love Trump and Musk also, but maybe not the same people.

As a final point, I fucking hate Brexit…”one giant small step for Europe, one giant leap backwards for Great Britain”.

VW group is leading in Denmark now on EV, and is now almost twice as big on EV sales as Tesla!!
But the laugh gets better if you read on.
Because Skoda and Audi are closing in too, only 10-15% behind Tesla, and those are also owned by VW, and then just to cement their dominance, they also have Cupra with about half the sales of Tesla, and just for shit and giggles, they also have Porsche, which is the only luxury brand on the EV list besides Mercedes.

For January Model Y has dropped from being #1 sold model to 6th place!!! With WV group having 4 models that are more popular than Model Y!!
Model 3 is way down the list, so it's not just people waiting for the new model Y. Tesla sales are plummeting for real.
