Tesla's sales plummet across Europe

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

I just had a comparison between Musk and Henry Ford pop up.

And a thought, that enshittification doesn't hurt us, them too.

Such people then were capable of organizing efficient mass production with the capital. Now Tesla exists because of SpaceX PR success.

Musk is not that dumber than Ford.

The majority didn't agree that everyone has critical flaws, that was going on for half a century, thus a society for perfect people was built. Everyone has critical flaws and everything has. Difference between programs and laws of 1950 and now is similar, but not computers and humans.

Hence libertarianism, with nested, parallel and relative legal systems.

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???

UK Tesla sales are starting from a much lower base. Sales in the UK were essentially half of what they were in Germany before the recent decline.

Also, the UK EV market in general grew last year, whereas sales of EVs across all brands declined in Germany over the same period

BYD is now the largest EV brand by sales in the UK, ahead of Tesla. Whereas in Germany Tesla is still the leading manufacturer, even after the drop.

Another thread suggests that the people calling the cybertruck a swastikar might be discouraging other people from buying them.

in Germany Tesla is still the leading manufacturer, even after the drop.

I seriously doubt that, because here in Denmark pure VW ALONE beat Tesla on EV sales, and VW group absolutely trounces Tesla.
VW group = VW + Audi + Skoda + Cupra (SEAT)+ Porsche.

Generally you don't lose almost three quarters of your marketshare to others and remain on top. That's the number for January!

I found a stat for 2024 EV sales in Germany:
https://www.best-selling-cars.com/germany/2024-full-year-germany-best-selling-electric-cars-by-brand-and-model/

So as you can see, it's the same in Germany as in Denmark, Tesla is not even close to #1 for 2024, they aren't even 2nd. BMW passed them too.
If you consider VW group against Tesla, they have more than 3.5 times as big marketshare in EV now!! With 35.3% against Tesla with 9.9%.

This is for 2024, and 2025 is already much much worse, and everything points to Tesla declining even further this year.
Tesla is down to 6th place in Denmark for January!!!

Tesla had the advantage of not being Chinese. Now most people would rather be seen in a Chinese car than a Tesla.

Why do people just make up shit and repeat it as if it's fact?

7 in 10 Britons hold unfavourable opinion of Donald Trump

71% have an unfavourable view of Musk

[thomascrappersghost@feddit.uk]

Because they are people. And that’s too many people.

I thought about this the other day, i would highly assume all car manufacturers are bad in one way or another. Or mega corporations in general. VW faked their pollution tests for example and there is no way to sugar-coat it. But what they do is tomake their cars look better than they are to increase profits, like every other manufacturer as well. Like no tesla ever goes as far as they say they go with a charge. By buying tesla, you are supporting some nazi cunt, which can't be said for any other car company.

[womble@lemmy.world]

If you want to be like that then "people" love trump and musk everywhere and its not unique to the UK. Saying "people here love trump and musk" when for example 55% of people in the UK have a "very unfavourable" opinion of him is very misleading. More people are very unfavourable than unfavourable, neutral, favourable very favourable and don't know put together.

[thomascrappersghost@feddit.uk]

But we were specifically talking about the U.K., and as you have pointed out, some people here do like Trump and Musk.

I’ll word what I say better next time.
