The only creatures that should buy a Tesla are from the fucking AfD.
Lol definitely won't, they're super anti-EV after all. I mean, they even want to get rid of all wind power plants. xD
They are on track to be worth less than BYD, the two will likely cross over quite soon.
My heart pumps purple piss for fElon.
And the US tax payer is going to have to foot the bill on it...Elon sucks goldfish dick
I don't think Elon gives a fuck. He's tricked everyone he needs to into giving him billions of dollars. He isn't going to give any of it back. He's laughed all the way to the bank.
I don't think he has to care, but I think he might. SpaceX and Tesla are the only 2 brands he regularly promotes as he hopes people forget about all the other stolen, idiotic ideas that have failed.
He has mentioned many times in the past how "owning a Tesla is fiscally responsible". Considering DOGE and falling Tesla sales... it's only a matter of time until he sees if he can push Tesla as "The American Car" subsidised by tax payers and potentially cheaper then other brands (due to tariffs)... I don't put it past him to try to take over all the transportation in the country. He's stopped pretending he isn't just a super villain a while ago, so going out of our way to ensure that the most "affordable" car is his and cripple the nation further by literally controlling the means of transportation.
he doesn’t, the american people getting ass fucked in broad daylight
Feel the same way. He basically has the US Treasury now, and can do whatever he wants with his DOGE, I doubt he cares about Tesla.
Good.
Say what you will about faceless corps, but toyota won't send some jackass out a the public face to do sieg hail, and be the gleeful butcher of government programs.
You have to be nestel levels of horrific before it breaks out of the corporate bubble.
I seriously question the mental stability of Tesla shareholders. Why on Earth does that man still have a job?
I'm not even talking about this recent stuff, I'm talking about all the things he's been doing for the last few years. It would get any normal person fired.
He has family members and toadies on the board
Well I don't want to celebrate in advance, Model Y facelift just released, let's hope this trend continues and doesn't show a reversal.
If you buy a Tesla now, it says something about you as a person...
I bought a Tesla years ago before Elon completely removed the mask.
No way I’d buy one now, but I also don’t want to sell it early and lose a tonne of money.
The Tesla board should intervene and remove him, but they won’t because he’s stacked it with yes men like his brother.
Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you've shown "Tesla sales down in Europe" news in Top.
Feel free to post other good news. I’ll be happy to upvote.
We have this, crap copied from twitter or crap copied from reddit. Take your pick. :)
To be serious for a minute, I do wish there was more discussions and not just circle jerking. Its funny how everyone left the big platforms but still discusses the exact same things.

You can filter it out if you want. Whenever I read it I get warm fuzzies. It helps me cope.

Each time I see a new article about drop in sales, the percentage is higher. I love it.
I think it's the first time in my life I routinely check in on the stock value of a company, and it's pure Schadenfreude.
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.
I wish people would also boycott Zuckerberg‘s products and Peter thiel‘s PayPal.
Is there a Canadian version of paypal that works the same way? I was searching but couldn't find one and ever since AI came around my business shrank to almost nothing. Also, other than having an old nearly defunct facebook account, what $ would I be unwittingly giving to Zuckerberg? Serious and naïve question.
I actively boycott Zuckerberg's offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta

Let’s get it to 90%. We can do it.
go big or go home : 100%
You can go to 110% if you burn enough tesla's
Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.
It's been said more than once, that Musk isn't an asset to a company but a liability. Tesla didn't succeed because of Musk but despite him.

Deliver is not the same as sales. They are also launching a new model this summer so people could just be waiting. I know it’s a great news story, Europe bands together against Musk to show dissatisfaction with American politics, but it may not be true. If someone could find Tesla reports that delivers are far lower than expected I will change my mind.
I wanted to find their predictions for production in Q1 2025 to see if they planned for less deliveries before all this Musk hit the news cycle. The closest I got as 2024 Q2 production numbers. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-second-quarter-2024
