  • Tesla sales crash

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 23 11:51:31 2024
    Tesla sales crash as drivers snub Trump supporter Elon Musk

    Tariffs on Chinese-made cars and the marque's ageing lineup are also undermining demand in Europe


    The company's sales across the European Union tumbled to 18,786 in
    November, down from 31,810 a year earlier.

    Apparently, Musky didn't read about My Pillow Guy's fall...

    Well, to be fair, europe is facing a bad economy, so there are other
    things people are prioritizing at the moment such as keeping their jobs,
    and building up their savings accounts. Let's see how it goes in a year or
    so, once the interests rates have come down a bit more, the taxes have
    been lowered, and the countries have borrowed more money to sprinkle on
    the public. Maybe then sales will increase again.

    The Tesla is a shit car, and the cybertruck is a collossal joke. Every
    Tesla on the road looks like identical. Boring, lame, expensive,
    nothing special.

    Do not want.

    Ha, Mike "Pillow Guy" can go eat a bag of shit. So entertaining
    watching that guy choke on it.

    The cybertruck is not very beautiful. For me a gasoline car is much
    cheaper and more convenient. I think electric cars and the supporting infrastructure, need at least 10 more years before it would make sense for
    me to even consider them.

    YMMV, along with location, but in US, where most people live in homes,
    EV usage is possible for many city based locations.

    Its been suggested the power infrastructure can't provide enough
    electric power, which may be true if everybody bought EVs. But
    overtime, I suspect this is false reasoning.

    This is the truth. Hence my 10 years. Electric cars will become more and
    more feasible with the years, and they will become cheaper. I am a
    capitalist after all, so if I can buy a better electric car than a regular
    one, for less, I will go for the elctric car.
