Tesla sales drop in Europe for fifth month in a row
-
I am unaware of any other EV that has sentry mode on the cameras like that on the Tesla. Would absolutely love to be proven wrong.
AFAIK Kia has a Korean only release EV6 that had it, but none of the other options utilise the whole suite of cameras to record.
Why is sentry mode the the bar to cross?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's not specifically "the" bar, but the original comment was saying they didn't see how Tesla would even be considered, and I felt this feature is one reason why someone may still consider a Tesla.
For me, my dash cameras have come in handy when my vehicle was running, but the hardwire mode has not been able to handle what I wanted it to. I want my next vehicle (whenever that may be) to be an improvement over what I already have. I have personally had my vehicles damaged more than once whilst it was parked, and I have always parked well. Sentry mode would have been very bloody useful to have the responsible parties pay up. Instead, I was left with a damaged car, which was notably rather heartbreaking when one incident occurred within the first month of ownership.
EDIT: My motorcycle was hit and if I hadn't had known, I wouldn't have been aware enough to take it to the shop to be inspected in case any of the internals had been damaged. Sometimes damage can be internal and without an alert, you would be putting yourself in danger.

Europeans still aren't buying Teslas with figures out Wednesday showing sales plunged for a fifth month in a row in May, a blow to investors who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now.
Tesla sales fell 28% last month in 30 European countries even as the overall market for electric vehicles expanded sharply, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. The poor showing comes after Tesla's billionaire CEO had promised a “major rebound” was coming last month, adding to a recent buying frenzy among investors.
They were selling on Wednesday, pushing the prices down more than 4% in early afternoon trading.
Well, at least his rockets aren’t blowi— oh, too bad.

It’s not rare for the first company to bring a product to market to not be the top dog once other companies get involved.
Except Tesla wasn't the first mass market EV. It wasn't even the second. The first would be the GM EV1 in 1997:
Many would argue that the EV1 doesn't count because it was on old technology. Fine then, the Nissan Leaf from 2009 then sporting its lithium battery:
Tesla Model S brought performance, range and styling that both of those were missing. However, we don't need Tesla anymore in the world if Musk is still benefiting from it.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Those advancements were made possible by the Roadster, which was the true pioneering product that made EVs cool again. A car that was dreamed up and invented by Martin Eberhard, and would go on to be built by someone else that gave him the shittiest end of the most shit-covered stick there ever was.
Everything that has given Tesla a reputation as an imnovative company was either done by the original inventor or their amazing engineers over the years.
Elon brings money and celebrity recognition to the company. If the celebrity recognition turns and becomes a net negative, the money is going to start becoming an issue too because his loans might get called and then he's got nothing to bring to the table. I choose to dream about that future right now.

Also, one huge Pro to not having a tesla is not having to worry about it blowing up for no reason.
Or having it vandalized.

I hate how much BYD pays people off. And they're suing people in China for "damaging their brand". I guess so did Tesla that one time, but only one of them runs slave camps (including outside of China).
And this is only one of their dubious “techniques” to lower the costs: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Presumably-Chinese-industrial-spies-stole-VW-data-on-e-drive-technology-9692416.html

All credit due to Eberhard and Tarpenning for the idea and some of the initial development of the BMS, but its not like they had a full car ready to sell and before Musk came in. Tesla was established as a company in 2003, Musk was brought in (with his money) in 2004. The first Roadster sold in 2008. Now stop making me say anything positive about Musk just to set the record straight. Its making me sick to talk about him positively after what he's become and how much harm he has caused human society.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Honestly I don't think it's really due to Elon hate. Sure people might not like him there much but it's not nearly as intense as the left/right divide in the US.
The real reason is that in Europe they aren't banning Chinese cars outright, so they have to compete against Chinese cars that are amazingly advanced for the price.
Anyways I'm sure Tesla's plan to drop the $25000 model is working out just fine.

Oh, i thought it was only down because Elon was off in Washington making America super awesome and not around to provide his brilliant leadership to Tesla

Methinks they may have underestimated Elonazi's dickishness, stupidity, arrogance, and power to piss people off...
OMG that's funny.
Not too mention Tesla stock being his slush fund to ruin the world with his Nazi bullshit
-
Sad part is that they’re getting outcompeted by the Chinese EVs, not the European carmakers. The whole money will just fund CCP’s ambitions instead of US ambitions, neither of which is good for European future
Even European brands like Polestar belong to Chinese companies by a large share. But yes, German car manufacturers were asleep at the wheel and now they even lobby against the combustion engine ban because they would be left with near zero business.

who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now
Even fucking goldfish remember what he's done. He has irreversibly associated Nazism with Tesla at the same time that cheaper and better electric vehicles are coming out of China. The only way is down and that's not going to change until he is no longer part of Tesla and a lot of time has passed.

Or having it vandalized.
Or it being a death trap in an accident.

Even better they don't drive teslas cause they want those gas guzzler.

Rivian seems better in literally every way, isn't it?
In Europe at least, Chinese cars.
Last month on my neck of the woods, YoY car sales were up 16% and yet Tesla was down 68% this month alone, while BYD was up 331,6% (yes, 3 digits).
With these changes, Tesla isn't even in the top 10 anymore (at one point it was #2!) and has been leapfrogged by BYD, who seems very likely to continue climbing and break into the top 3 sellers.
Tesla is dead.

In Tesla's case, its because they rushed to beat the competition. You'll notice they were a "tech company" not a traditional car company. The actual car companies came out with mature, fully baked, offerings rather than trying to be the first.
Oh boy, you haven't heard of the ID.3, have you? Or the bzx4. Or the corsa. Or...
