Summary
Tesla’s sales in Europe collapsed in April, plunging over 50% in several countries despite an overall 23.9% rise in EU EV sales.
Sweden saw an 81% drop, the Netherlands 73.8%, and France 59%.
The refreshed Model Y failed to revive interest as buyers turned to alternatives, citing CEO Elon Musk’s controversies or superior competitors.
Tesla’s Q1 EU market share fell from 2.4% to 1.3%. Including the UK and EFTA, sales dropped 37.3%. Globally, 2024 was Tesla’s worst delivery year in two years, raising doubts about a near-term recovery.
Burn that fucker into the ground
How amazing - it turns out capitalism works best when consumers have the ability to vote with their wallets. Meanwhile in the US, I’m going to start handing out swastika stencils to people can spray paint them onto Model S’s.
I do my part here in Denmark (which is chock full of Tesla), by giving the middle finger to every Swastikar that passes me by on my commute by bike.
It’s a completely overvalued company. Other car companies have a much higher production rate, sell more cars, at a much better quality, and have more market share, yet don’t “enjoy” the same kind of market valuation. In Germany, Teslas are on par with Dacia in terms of production quality, yet Dacia sells cars at a fraction of the cost of Tesla. In other words, it’s a bubble. One way or another, it will burst, and if it takes the nazi boss in charge down with it, even better.
They need to calm down with that title. It’s only been a few months. Unfortunately people forget way too easily.
