Tesla's sales plummet across Europe

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. -

-
Plus, it's a vehicle that's likely to be shit for its owner, so I'm cool with cops having them en mass

Absolutely, they've been praised for best range for the price, but the cars are crap, with 30% failing 4 year safety check in Denmark.
They also have a number of issues, on how functions are handled, both essential and non essential, that I personally suspect is the reason they have the worst accident record of all brands. Blinker on the steering wheel instead of on a stick, is OK in maybe 95% of the situations you need to use them, but the remaining 5% it's awkward and distracting, and maybe people completely fail to use them correctly.
So yes they are crap, in part because Tesla ignores safety or is even ignorant about why things are done like they are. And this is shown blatantly clear with the 4 years safety check here in Denmark. -
Correction: Android and apple carplay are just as worse, maybe even more so.
If you're not American it doesnt really matter. Your data in china or your data in the US. Both are bad, m'kay?

Yeah it's like when people from UK ask if there aren't any benefits? Oh yes there is, not as many as there are drawbacks, and unfortunately the benefits are all on the EU side.
Ah well, the Brits are still our friends, where would we be if it hadn't been for Monty Python? I suppose formal cooperation will be build up again over time, like we have with Norway. But it would have been better if Brexit had never happened, and that's on both sides IMO.
AfD in Germany also love Musk now that he has expressed support for them. There are idiots everywhere. -
Round about way to defund them, force them to spend funding on maintaining overpriced junk.
-
Android and apple Carplay aren't funding Musk and all the shitty, shitty things he's doing.
-
-
How is CarPlay just as bad? Apple said they’re not interested in your data or selling it and even anonymize the maps searches through their differential privacy method.

Lol it was like this with Twitter and Kamala. You guys live in a bubble m this isn't the real world.
Twitter didn't collapse and Kamala lost.

Only UK is known to have only moderate decline, but they probably think it's independence for UK to buy Tesla, because fuck Europe for some reason???
That's a strange comment to make and I doubt it has anything to do with the EU.
Any UK EV car review I watch, the Tesla comes out on top. The issue with EV's is public charging and Tesla's charging network is a big reason people go with Tesla's. They also tend to have the longest range and retain their value longer.
Company cars are also favouring EV's to make themselves look better and once again the Tesla is the recommended vehicle by the leasing company. Why? Because of the charging network.The other obvious one is the UK public consumes a lot of US media and social media and therefore is now heavily influenced by the US.

I'd kinda like to get a VW, but jeez they are boring as cars.
-
Volkswagen got slapped on the wrists due to gaming pollution tests. Mercedes paywalls functions behind a subscription. I think a bike is your best option
-
No, just Pichai and Cook who fund Trump.
-
This is good news overall but Denmark is just a population of 6 million. Let's hope the trend continues elsewhere
-
Yes Denmark is small, but sales of Tesla in France, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all down about 40% Germany even more with 59.
So this appear to be a pretty strong European trend. And although Denmark and Norway are small countries, we have pretty big EV marketshare with 50% of sold cars sold are EV in Denmark, and AFAIK close to 90% for Norway.
