    Each time I see a new article about drop in sales, the percentage is higher. I love it.

      I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

    Gone from the coolest car to the most embarrassing, and these people are supposed to be smart.

    Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you’ve shown “Tesla sales down in Europe” news in Top.

        Doesn’t make my comment not true.

        And I don’t filter or block anything or anyone. Rawdogging Lemmy, the way God intended.

            There’s no point in blocking everything. I’m interested in what’s happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% “Why Linux is actually good”, “Musk/Trump bad”, “Tesla shares in EU down again” for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

      If you have the money to buy a Tesla I don’t think you’re someone who cares what people think one way or the other. You don’t need to care about public opinion with that kind of income.

        What? A Model 3 starts at 42k (without the tax credit) or 299/mo for a lease. That’s below average for new cars in America, or significantly below average if you qualify for the tax credit. KBB says the average for a new car in December 2024 was nearly 50k.

        And sure, not everyone can afford a new car, but very few Tesla buyers are “that kind of income” wealthy.

      Not really. The UK is very anti-Musk and very anti-Trump.

      Ireland and the UK being the only ones to grow is likely due to the way Tesla delivers Right-Hand Drive cars - they deliver them as one large batch each quarter rather than constantly trickling them out like LHD cars.

      If you look at UK and Irish sales figures across multiple months, they swing between being up and down, depending on when RHD shipments come. Overall Tesla is down (and the UK even before Musk’s recent actions bought far fewer Tesla cars than France or Germany)
