Summary

Tesla’s EU vehicle sales dropped 49% in January and February 2025, with registrations falling to 19,046.

Analysts link the decline to Elon Musk’s political alignment with Trump and nationalist European parties, sparking backlash, including arson and vandalism at Tesla facilities.

Compounding issues, newer Chinese-made EVs are surpassing Tesla sales in Europe, with Tesla’s market share falling from 18.4% to 7.7% year-to-date.

    The guy who sure made a big deal of “I don’t care” during cancellations and “💩” for official comment requests, suddenly demanding empathy and getting the Republican caucus and media circuit to throw him a pity party is undoubtedly the “white persecution” he continues to push.

    Who needs satire.

    I keep seeing these numbers from Europe, but have yet to see North America numbers. I’m curious to see if sales are tanking in the US even harder.

      Not just a Nazi, but a chickenshit Nazi.

      If you’re gonna be a Nazi, be one. Don’t deny it after you’re noticed.
