Tesla European Sales down in January

[edyvw]

The roller coaster continues... Glad I bought in early enough. Hold on to your hats!
Do you think the Model Y will be the #1 selling car in the world again? Time will tell.

You are trying to keep this about actual vehicles when issue is elsewhere.
I have a friend who has Model 3, two Tesla batteries in the house and Tesla solar panels, and he wouldn’t buy again anything from the company.
Regardless of an attempt to separate issue from cars, problem is that the “issue” is driving decline.

Is the "issue", uhm, "Melon Husk"?

Tesla has an aging lineup and only makes EVs, maybe the Model 3 and Y will change the trend. Oddly, sales in Europe were down among other brands too but nobody clicks when Kia, VW or Ford are mentioned.

That's how I see it. I love my cars and I'm going to keep them, but I don't want to give the company any more money with Adolf Muskler as the CEO.

I think there is difference of 50.4% drop and drop of few % points on yearly basis.

100%. This is protesting Musk. It really isn't that related to the vehicles themselves.

Yeah but your not going to hear that from him as its abundantly clear he hasnt thought about the moral repercussions of how he has funded a megalomaniac. "You gotta separate the guy from the company."

Hogwash.

I think it's a little of both, and the competition is getting better. A lot better.

I'm going to be crystal clear.

Musk is a political figure and we don't discuss politics on BITOG .

So being coy and using euphemisms and other sneaky faux cleverness stops.

You all agreed to the rules. Have the integrity to abide by them.

Take the argument to the nearest sewer. It will not happen here.

Consider this a warning.
