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. -

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.

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.

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. -
IDK what makes a car not boring for you, but you may like the Cupra better, it's more sporty than VW.

The Cupra Born VZ has the VW quality.
Personally I prefer Skoda Enyaq over the VW ID4.But you could also just get a Porsche, I've never heard those being called boring.

Charging is not a problem for non Tesla cars, you just need to be registered with about 7 apps on your phone.
Here Tesla is no longer reviewed as the top car, except the price/range ratio is very good with model 3.
2 of the top reviewed in 2024 are the new KIA E3 and Renault Scenic Etech. But that is not at all reflected in sales for some reason.
For many reviewers the Skoda Enyaq 80 iV. was the shit a few of years ago, and the newer Enyaq 85 is even better. I don't see Tesla having anything even close.
If I had more money, I'd be looking at the BMW i4.Tesla cars are flawed safety wise by design, and have documented poor safety. I'm not sure they should even be legal here!!!
