Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.

It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.

Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.

        Yes and that seems to be mostly from the inauguration, Nazi salute and DOGE, january through March.
        But if you look from when the tariffs were announced in the start of April, and most of American stock is down in that period. Then Tesla has done pretty well in April compared to most, despite being a company that will be hit hard by the tariffs.

    I have literally since they were released wanted a Tesla…right up until he decided to start this right wing bullshit.

    I have for a few years now said if in 2015 he decided to become a recluse and just revel in his companies grandeur he might be the next Edison or maybe more accurately Ford. Possibly Hughes.

    Now we are aware of how much of a petulant, unfunny child this dickhead is. He and his reputation is ruined.

      Yeah, I think the union thing and the latest nazi salute form exactly the kind of combination Sweden won’t forgive easily. Tesla’s reputation is completely gone.

      I can’t believe it will last. Bubble has to pop. International sales in the toilet, Cybertruck failing, domestic sales down, supply chains in shock from tariff chaos, and on top of it all, it’s PE ratio makes no sense compared to all other manufacturers.

      The entire stock price is based on nothing but Elon Musk and the world is starting to look at him as an idiot.

    “You love to see it” is an expression of satisfaction, amusement, or even mild glee when something good or desirable happens, particularly when it involves someone getting what they deserve or a situation turning out favorably. It often implies a sense of vindication or a feeling of relief that a situation has reached a positive resolution.
