The only creatures that should buy a Tesla are from the fucking AfD.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 34 minutes ago

Lol definitely won't, they're super anti-EV after all. I mean, they even want to get rid of all wind power plants. xD

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 39 minutes ago

My heart pumps purple piss for fElon.

[–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 16 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

And the US tax payer is going to have to foot the bill on it...Elon sucks goldfish dick

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 6 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think Elon gives a fuck. He's tricked everyone he needs to into giving him billions of dollars. He isn't going to give any of it back. He's laughed all the way to the bank.

[–] lostbit@feddit.nl 3 points 1 hour ago

he doesn’t, the american people getting ass fucked in broad daylight

[–] sunfur82@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 hour ago

Feel the same way. He basically has the US Treasury now, and can do whatever he wants with his DOGE, I doubt he cares about Tesla.

[–] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 50 minutes ago (1 children)

So? You subsidised him since forever.
Not a peep when he demanded to keep his factories open in full Covid times or plenty more scummy things.
Only when he became a Trumper he was no longer great papa Elon for half of you.

[–] houstoneulers@lemmy.world 2 points 39 minutes ago

What makes you think I wasn't verbally critical of him? I was telling ppl that were praising him that he seemed to virtue signal and seemed shady back in 2017. I was told I was looking too much into it. But in retrospect...

[–] singletona@lemmy.world 52 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Good.

Say what you will about faceless corps, but toyota won't send some jackass out a the public face to do sieg hail, and be the gleeful butcher of government programs.

You have to be nestel levels of horrific before it breaks out of the corporate bubble.

I seriously question the mental stability of Tesla shareholders. Why on Earth does that man still have a job?

I'm not even talking about this recent stuff, I'm talking about all the things he's been doing for the last few years. It would get any normal person fired.

[–] negativeyoda@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

He has family members and toadies on the board

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

Well I don't want to celebrate in advance, Model Y facelift just released, let's hope this trend continues and doesn't show a reversal.

[–] oyzmo@lemmy.world 96 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If you buy a Tesla now, it says something about you as a person...

[–] Blindsite@lemmy.today -3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

If you have the money to buy a Tesla I don't think you're someone who cares what people think one way or the other. You don't need to care about public opinion with that kind of income.

[–] thrawn@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago

What? A Model 3 starts at 42k (without the tax credit) or 299/mo for a lease. That’s below average for new cars in America, or significantly below average if you qualify for the tax credit. KBB says the average for a new car in December 2024 was nearly 50k.

And sure, not everyone can afford a new car, but very few Tesla buyers are “that kind of income” wealthy.

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 61 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Lemmy, this is the 7th day in a row you've shown "Tesla sales down in Europe" news in Top.

[–] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 65 points 10 hours ago

Feel free to post other good news. I’ll be happy to upvote.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 14 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

We have this, crap copied from twitter or crap copied from reddit. Take your pick. :)

To be serious for a minute, I do wish there was more discussions and not just circle jerking. Its funny how everyone left the big platforms but still discusses the exact same things.

You can filter it out if you want. Whenever I read it I get warm fuzzies. It helps me cope.

I wish people would also boycott Zuckerberg‘s products and Peter thiel‘s PayPal.

[–] FluffyTailSociety@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Is there a Canadian version of paypal that works the same way? I was searching but couldn't find one and ever since AI came around my business shrank to almost nothing. Also, other than having an old nearly defunct facebook account, what $ would I be unwittingly giving to Zuckerberg? Serious and naïve question.

[–] Clanket@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I actively boycott Zuckerberg's offerings bar WhatsApp coz the bastard bought it out from under us. Fuck him, fuck Meta

Each time I see a new article about drop in sales, the percentage is higher. I love it.

[–] cabbage@piefed.social 5 points 5 hours ago

I think it's the first time in my life I routinely check in on the stock value of a company, and it's pure Schadenfreude.

[–] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 hours ago

I keep thinking it’s same article being reposted before noticing the drop is 10-15% greater than the last time I saw it. I hope he’s kicked from Europe entirely.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 43 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Let’s get it to 90%. We can do it.

[–] redlemace@lemmy.world 27 points 11 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 11 points 8 hours ago

You can go to 110% if you burn enough tesla's

[–] Aidinthel@reddthat.com 95 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Elon truly is a genius businessman. Letting him run the government is clearly a great idea.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 4 points 9 hours ago

I mean he's become a whole lot richer. Tesla is just a casualty. Why he hasn't been ousted from the board or sued by investors, I don't understand.

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 66 points 16 hours ago

It's been said more than once, that Musk isn't an asset to a company but a liability. Tesla didn't succeed because of Musk but despite him.

[–] Hejej@lemmy.ml 34 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

Deliver is not the same as sales. They are also launching a new model this summer so people could just be waiting. I know it’s a great news story, Europe bands together against Musk to show dissatisfaction with American politics, but it may not be true. If someone could find Tesla reports that delivers are far lower than expected I will change my mind.

I wanted to find their predictions for production in Q1 2025 to see if they planned for less deliveries before all this Musk hit the news cycle. The closest I got as 2024 Q2 production numbers. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-second-quarter-2024
