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.
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???
It’s more likely to be political apathy with the Brits. Most of us don’t seem to get and/or bother about politics…also only around 25% of the country were dense enough to vote for Brexit.
Yeah you are probably right, as the saying goes: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
But then again, Brexit was mostly about xenophobia, which is both.
So I suspect it's more that the 2 go together.
I’d say you’re a bit right also. People here love Trump and Musk also, but maybe not the same people.
As a final point, I fucking hate Brexit…”one small step for Europe, one giant leap backwards for Great Britain”.
Yeah it's like when people from UK ask if there aren't any benefits? Oh yes there is, not as many as there are drawbacks, and unfortunately the benefits are all on the EU side. 😋
Ah well, the Brits are still our friends, where would we be if it hadn't been for Monty Python? I suppose formal cooperation will be build up again over time, like we have with Norway. But it would have been better if Brexit had never happened, and that's on both sides IMO.
AfD in Germany also love Musk now that he has expressed support for them. There are idiots everywhere.
