    Congratulations Germany, you did well.

    Tesla sales are down 59% for January Year Over Year, and EV sales are up 50% for January also compare to last year. And the marketshare is stated to have dropped from 14% to 4%. That means that Tesla marketshare dropped a whopping 73% !!!
    Looking from the other side, it means that Tesla only has just above a fourth (27%) marketshare left, declining almost 3 fourths in JUST ONE YEAR!!! That’s absolutely insane and normally unheard of losses for a major brand.

    one factor behind Tesla’s sales decline in Germany could be that consumers were waiting for the upgraded Y model

    I seriously doubt the new model will make much difference, it may help Tesla a little, but the truth is Tesla aren’t really better than the competition anymore, facelift or not. Here in Denmark VW group thoroughly beat Tesla on EV sales for the year 2024. So no doubt Tesla is already in steep decline in many places. From what we know right now, sales of Tesla are in steep decline in Germany, France, Norway and Denmark.

    Only UK is known to have only moderate decline, but they probably think it’s independence for UK to buy Tesla, because fuck Europe for some reason???

        He is, otherwise he will get funds in some way or another. Rich people can’t become poor today.

        That would be amazing. Cybertruck cops? They’ll be letting everyone go when the trucks breaks down.

          you mean “police needs to buy more cybertrucks, so they always have a bunch of spares when they break down due to a puddle”

      There are very few that remember left, You have to be 90 years old to remember WW2.
      But many of us learned about Fascism and Nazism in public school, and we have seen the historic very clear evidence of how evil it is.

        I can’t go anywhere without seeing a few memorials of world war 2. They’re everywhere so we wouldn’t forget.
