Tesla demand is nosediving in EV-friendly Europe amid Elon Musk's endorsement of the far right
-
IIRC this fact also had to do with a German government subsidizing EVs that ended late last year, I could be wrong to. Any German that can help clear this up?

Great!!

Their factories in Nevada, Texas, and China all have a lot of extra space and/or land for expansion. They've also been considering building more factories in Mexico, another one in Europe, and possibly SE Asia, though it's unclear whether any of those are going to materialize - especially with the current downturn in sales.

Elon Shitler has a nice ring to it. #PresidentElon please use this hashtag in all your sm post. We need to sew divide wherever we can and baby Trump really cares about shit like this.

These are working class people you are talking about. Please keep the focus on millionaires and billionaires.

That's just a straw man argument.
I'm saying every news article now has the same thumbnail so half of the time I don't even notice the new evil stuff he is doing. That's BAD because it's the opposite of what we should be doing. Which is to recognize all the bad stuff he's doing. But now it's all just "oh he's saluting again".
I even believe there is a small chance they are forcing this image down our throats to make us immune to it.
So again, stop using the same thumbnail all the time, add it somewhere in the article or or post it in the comments or wherever. Because that's all absolutely amazing and I support that.
It's like your phone would have the same icon for every app. At some point you don't even notice the new ones.

I kind of think this was intentional, because the picture before this was the dorky one of him jumping at the Trump rally. I'm sure he prefers this one.

Iirc, the subsidy was ~7000ā¬. When the subsidy ended, car prices dropped by roughly 5000ā¬. Meaning, there was a gift for the manufacturers and nothing changed.
Of course, you can't brag about your 40k car anymore because it's only 35k now. And other smaller effects like the ads are different now. -
Hopefully, the Tesla nose dive spreads to his other businesses.

people who use teslas definitely deserve some vandalism, but i dont think that would tell them it makes them shitty people. It would more likely just push them even more towards some hateful ideology. They should be made look like rejects they are, not victims. Though maybe if someone was to flip the tesla logo, it looks just like someone on kkk hood, just upside down.

I wasnāt thinking of it that way, but you are probably right.
I was thinking he canāt have real immortality so he settled on being as memorable as possible. But in his twisted conservative mind, maybe this is him wanting to be remembered as a hardass rather than an [insert slur for gay men].

But that's only 3 factories that they do have, building new ones would take years, they have lost the first mover advantage if they ever have one.

If I ever see a fucking Cybertruck here, I'm moving to Antarctica.

I bet someday we (the younger side of Lemmy) will be helping our kids with history homework and get jumpscared by this pic.
-
Why would that be? Aren't teslas the only company doing driving assist with cameras instead of lidar?
-
I think the idea is to show disapproval without actively damaging someoneās car, which could have been bought due to a variety of reasons. Also damaging the car only perpetuates waste, and since itās already been purchased, does limited immediate financial damage to the company. The āfuck Elonā sticker for example is a much better idea imho
-
Is it? It seems like if teslas all had broken windows less people would buy them. I'm sure a few people have sunk saved money into them so I sympathize where I can... but I don't know any people who bought a tesla that couldn't afford fixing it. They're not exactly cheap.
