Tesla’s sales fall 63% in France, Europe’s second biggest EV market

The product isn’t the cars. It’s all the data he’s vacuuming up from the rubes who keep buying them.

Shock, you can own shares from multiple companies at once. Competitors, even.

The secret ingredient is crime. Telsa is too big to fail in the fact the private market makes so much from it. The only way it crashes is is someone gets greedy enough to short musk and take his place.

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

Any day now, Elon Musk’s failures will catch up with him and then we can dance on his grave
of failure.

Stupid nerd who never accomplished anything!

Ah, so they no longer care about how their Tesla shares perform, because they've invested in multiple companies. Gotcha! You're great at investing, I can tell.

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

I'm sure Tesla gathers data, but pretending that a $50,000 car isn't the actual product is pretty silly.

[merc@sh.itjust.works]

That's an interesting take. Doesn't make much sense, but it's interesting.

[ininewcrow@lemmy.world]

He did not see that coming

[atempuser23@lemmy.world]

Basically many institutional investors are so loaded into tesla the market would overall crash if tesla was properly valued. They all just pretend that it's correctly valued and crush anything that challenges to correct that. There are billions to be made for the person that forces the correction with a short and takes musk out.

Too much glue damages the brain

[atempuser23@lemmy.world]

That must be it. Your right. There are so many completely logical a reasons why Tesla is so highly valued. I mean dozens. There are so many it doesn't even make sense to list any of the legitimate reasons why Tesla continues to be worth the sum of all other manufacturers on earth.

Glue and tons of it. Yep.

Snakes, rats, sharks, and pigs. These are all beautiful animals, but describe terrible humans. These animals don't deserve the association. Maybe we should stick to double-crossers, snitches, shysters, and cops or find other catchy names that work.

The EU has so many much better EV makers it is crazy. Siemens, Altsom, CAF or Talgo are superior in every way.

[varyingexpertise@feddit.org]

Are you expecting someone to say "I never heard of those" so you can share some gem of niche industry knowledge with us?

Sigh. Alright. "I never heard of those".

[someone@lemmy.ca]

I've see a single Renault up here in Canada every summer for the past few years and the one time I got close enough I saw it had Mexican plates on it.

[mrmakabar@slrpnk.net]

Those are all train manufacturers.

[tekato@lemmy.world]

Hint: None of those companies make electric vehicles.

[varyingexpertise@feddit.org]

Oh, right, so we are all very dumb for not recognizing that and also op is very enlightened because he has already arrived at the conclusion that public transport is the only valid form of transportation while the rest of us still thinks that electrically driven automobiles (*snort*) might be anything of value.

Alright, imma head over to the designated corner of shame, see you guys over there.

[paddzr@lemmy.world]

Give me a break.

Hate on Musk all you're pleased, I'll join you. But I can't deny how much better tesla was vs every other brand I've test driven (Ford, Kia, Polestar mg etc). Their software is unmatched unfortunately. Until we get another brand do this shit right, tesla will be the top car. EV is only as good as its software. Most other brands are half a decade behind.

Again, if you have experience and disagree? I'm happy to discuss! I'd love to hear about your experience with brands I haven't tested. But 90% of comments here likely never driven Tesla and are just spewing bullshit because they dislike Musk. It's fine not to buy a car because of it, but trying to mental gymnastics into the car being bad makes people look like complete idiots.

I'm sure there will be smart asses here talking about quality control or software recalls, so what? Sell so many of anything and you'll have bad apples. You think other brands haven't got those?
