Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

Tesla’s European market share is declining sharply, with EU registrations dropping 40.9% in November 2024 compared to last year, and year-to-date registrations down 15.2%.

Including the UK and EFTA, Tesla’s registrations fell 13.7% this year.

The drop stems from reduced government EV incentives and growing dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk.

Despite Tesla’s decline, overall EV registrations in Europe have remained stable as competing automakers gain ground. Tesla remains the largest EV producer in Europe but faces growing pressure from rivals capitalizing on its waning dominance.

I don't like Teslas either due to Musk, the touchscreens, the build quality and their anti self repair antics.

But the model 3 is very reasonably priced for what it is.

And just because something weighs more doesn't mean that the stopping distance is longer, because more weight means the tires are pressed onto the road harder, which means more grip.

Nah, there's plenty of comparable cars for the same price. I'll take a Hyundai ioniq any day. Europe, at least. In the us..dunno.. but not tesla anyway

Yes, there are other EVs available that are also reasonably priced. I just wanted to say that the Model 3 doesn't have dogshit value like the commenter I responded to claimed.

When my car gets too old I will get an EV and it will certainly not be a Tesla, but that has more to do with the company behind the car than the car itself in my case.

Well, there's a huge list of issues that it has. Owners have made a list and some workarounds...dunno, At its price...yeah, that's kinda dog shit.

I know someone who has a model 3 and he likes it, and I haven't seen this list yet, so either these issues are minor to most people or my acquaintance just has luck with his car.
