Tesla sales drop in Europe for fifth month in a row
-
Let's keep it going, I wanna get paid for getting a Tesla.
Unless he steps down as CEO and sells all his shares I don't see a Tesla redemption arc in Europe anytime soon.
-
Even better they don't drive teslas cause they want those gas guzzler.
Honestly, if he can get them to switch from those gas guzzlers to Teslas, that would still be better. But for that to work, the brand has to be utterly reviled by any "libtards". So keep sinking Tesla and let the Nazis rescue it.
-
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.
Could I have a list of these "investors?" Because they sound like fools who deserve to be tricked out of their money.

Do you have numbers? Because Chinese cars are growing by triple digits because they were basically at 0, the numbers I saw recently VW, stellantis, Hyundai, BMW and Mercedes were in the top 10.
Regarding the other brands - some cars, like the very popular Dacia Spring, are not manufactured by Dacia in Europe but 100% by Dongfeng in China.
The Chinese brands are on the rise and those are not just the relative numbers but the absolute numbers too. The data for Q2 shall be there in a few days, I guess it’s worth to wait for it

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.
There is precedent for a car brand started by a Nazi successfully shaking that image eventually

Well, I think it confirms what I said, BYD barely making it to the top 10 with 7k units sold while Volkswagen group has 3 of the top 4 brands (for EVs) with 50k units sold. Plus BMW, Mercedes, Renault and Hyundai groups. Chinese cars are growing by a lot of % because they had a minuscule market share. As of today, they are still a small part of the market, let's see where they land when they stabilize.

That would also tank the stock price though.

Liquidate Musk

Even MAGAs are embarrassed to drive one of his Nazi mobiles

Short term yes but I think they could quickly recover beyond where they are now if Tesla managed to keep some good press coming.

Like I said, it's been a minute, but BYD isn't available in the US; looks like Mercedes offers 4 SUV/crossover models starting at $55k and 2 sedans starting at $75k; Kia is all SUV; Hyndai has one sedan and two crossovers. Ford is crossover/truck; GM is all SUVs. More than there were, but non-Tesla sedans are still the exception. I'd love to see BYD in the US. Love to see KEI in the US.
The Mini EV is in the US, but its range is just adequate. Then there's older models, like the Bolt or Leaf. Ford has an EV Transit van for commercial customers, but its range also sucks.
Hyundai Ioniq 6 is out there, at least.
Yeah, the US market for EVs is bad. Just SUVs and trucks with few exceptions. Not even a good (mini) van.

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.
The first would be the GM EV1 in 1997:
The Flocken Elektrowagen is a four-wheeled electric car designed by Andreas Flocken (1845–1913), manufactured in 1888 by Maschinenfabrik A. Flocken in Coburg. It is regarded as the first real electric car.

Even then it’s a shitty company, cause look how long they’ve tolerated him for.

Over what sort of timeframe?
Couple months? Couple years? Couple decades? -

You skipped the "mass market" part.

Let's hope they drop even further

I read Musk fired the Tesla manager for Europe and North America over the low sales, as if those weren't a direct result of Musk's own actions. Like there is only one person responsible for pushing the stupid cybertruck and for associating the brand with fascism.

Dunno, wasn't born yet
From the wiki, and I'm simplifying:
VW was handed over to the German government after being offered free-of-charge to Ford in 1948 by the British government (who ran the factory up till then).
In 1946 the produced 1000 cars per month.
In 1949, 2 cars were sold in the US.
In 1952, 12 VWs were sold in Canada.
In 1955 they produced over 1 million Beetles.So 3 years on life support being ran by the British. Dunno how long being run by the German government before becoming GmbH.

Rivian seems better in literally every way, isn't it?
Price wise also?
