Fuck Elon, but I am starting to feel bad for the guys who just wanted to make an electric car. They didn't deserve to get wrapped up in this monkey's paw. I hope they got out while they could.
Ive heard literally 0 shit being flung at the people who work at Tesla. This is the first time I even considered whether this was bad for them.
They likely are losing money though since I think part of their pay is in stock. The stock is overvalued though still.
I dont know, if I worked for Tesla I'd probably consider this a wash.
And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.
Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).
Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.

UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.
Or weren't buying many to begin with ๐ค
Average .ee user
These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame
why is Felon Musk not getting fired for poor performance.
In gonna need England and Italy to pump them numbers up.
In Italy the percentage is low because not many Teslas are sold anyway
That's not how percentages work, doofus.
Italy and the uk need to step it up

I won't cry for Musk, quite the contrary... But I also don't know how important the EU as a market is for Tesla?
It is third after NA and Asia but still huge.
You mean China? They are not part of NATO. Note that the election of Trump have almost made it crystal clear the USA does not care much about NATO anymore (they seem to only care about Ukraine's underground which is not yet part of the EU (what a happy coincidence). So Turkish armed force ranking may very well already be a non-question just that we, NATO-members, have not been officially told so yet... In Which case China and Russia, and Turkey?, would be very happy.

Thank you.. thought I had lost it.
I'm ashamed of the UK and Italy.
No shame.
I view it as a friendly competition between Europeans. Right now, Spain is in the lead. UK and Italy are trailing but they're still racing in the right direction. I'm cheering for them to catch up.
What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.
What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt?
They'll shrink in size but will always be a big player in the EV market.
The main question is: how big a decline will be required for the board to boot Musk out?
but will always be a big player in the EV market.
Not for long if their sales continue to tank, because that revenue will be going to other manufacturers, who will become bigger than tesla, eventually.
And I don't simply want Musk out. He'd still be rich because of Tesla. I want the company to fold completely. I want his fortunes to be zero, and his influence to be less than zero.
If you want that to happen, then you'll need to start work on SpaceX after Tesla is gone.
One thing at a time ๐คญ
Welcome to the electronic car world controlled by China. Real fascists that put millions into reeducation camps and are now a forced slave labor population. The irony is shocking.
