    No way it’s only 13%.

      In Canada they were clearly trying to fake sales to steal tax credits from the government. Canada froze their funds and told them to fuck off. The U.S. won’t stop Musk from faking sales to make it look better than it is. Guaranteed Musk is up to some fuckery.

      I assume that’s in the US only. The sames drop in Europe is far worse (40 to 80% depending on country) because they are less receptive to fascists than the US.

        Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 globally in the January to March quarter. The figure was down from sales of 387,000 in the same period a year ago.

        Emphasis: globally

        Edit: also note, “Tesla reported”. I wouldn’t trust them to be giving accurate numbers, so it’s actually probably a lot worse.

          There’s no way those numbers are real: https://apnews.com/article/tesla-sales-recall-trump-byd-b6f5da15be491d16e3020598e3ddf861

          Canadian sales are fabricated and they are down in China too as BYD eat their lunch. Where else would the shortfall come from?

        I thought I remember reading that UK numbers went up. But I wonder if that’s a situation like the Canadian “sales” they had recently…

          The Canadian “sales” where three Tesla dealerships each averaged one car sold for every single minute during a three-day weekend? No, that was totally legit.

          They’ve gone up, but it looks like it might be to get ahead of the April tax on cars over £40k. We might see a reduction in sales April onwards, and as the article points out the sales increase is below that of other brands.

          Still not ideal though.

      This is a company that is now immune to any federal investigation. Worth keeping that in mind when going over their numbers.

    If only they used the time and resources that they wasted on developing the Cybertruck on an actually viable and affordable model

        And it’s still the best selling pickup truck… People who buy pickup EV don’t give a fuck about it being a poor truck. Truly wild times, I thought Ford would demolish them but they are so far behind its laughable.

          What?

          They’ve sold like 47k total, and there was 10x that in Silverado sales in 2024 just in America…

          And they’re not even the best selling pickup truck in America.

          What metric are you using?

                  It would appear no one is siding with you, and only one person disagreed with me…

                  Likely you …

                  So I understand you think what you meant was clear, but it would seem no one else agrees…

                  So maybe, just maybe, it’s your fault

    Are you sure it’s not because the cybertruck is awful? Because I think it might be partly because the cybertruck is awful.
