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.

    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.

    What baffles me is that conservatives usually don’t believe in global warming and don’t care about the environment so they are less likely to purchase an EV. So why is Musk courting them? Presumably he did a lot of damage to the brand. And it doesn’t help either that the Cyberpunk is one giant flop, similar to Fiat Multipla.

    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.

        At least we are not letting Tesla start a self-driving test on our streets as Norway is doing.

        I am ashamed to say that, even after 15 years in cycling cities, I have never learnt to bike with hands on the handle.

        I think it’s part of my personality: 20 years ago when I still drove a car I was fixed with my hands at 10 to 10 on the wheel and I approach every keyboard with my left hand in the WASD shape.
