Great... US cars finance a Nazi supporter and Chinese cars are spy machines on wheels... Maybe, German cars are superior in the end...
Volkswagen got slapped on the wrists due to gaming pollution tests. Mercedes paywalls functions behind a subscription. I think a bike is your best option
I thought about this the other day, i would highly assume all car manufacturers are bad in one way or another. Or mega corporations in general. VW faked their pollution tests for example and there is no way to sugar-coat it. But what they do is tomake their cars look better than they are to increase profits, like every other manufacturer as well. Like no tesla ever goes as far as they say they go with a charge. By buying tesla, you are supporting some nazi cunt, which can't be said for any other car company.
VW group is leading in Denmark now on EV, and is now almost twice as big on EV sales as Tesla!!
But the laugh gets better if you read on.
Because Skoda and Audi are closing in too, only 10-15% behind Tesla, and those are also owned by VW, and then just to cement their dominance, they also have Cupra with about half the sales of Tesla, and just for shit and giggles, they also have Porsche, which is the only luxury brand on the EV list besides Mercedes.
For January Model Y has dropped from being #1 sold model to 6th place!!! With WV group having 4 models that are more popular than Model Y!!
Model 3 is way down the list, so it's not just people waiting for the new model Y. Tesla sales are plummeting for real.
This is good news overall but Denmark is just a population of 6 million. Let's hope the trend continues elsewhere
Yes Denmark is small, but sales of Tesla in France are down 64%, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all down more than 40%, and Germany 59%.
So this appear to be a pretty strong European trend. And although Denmark and Norway are small countries, we have pretty big EV marketshare with 50% of cars sold are EV in Denmark, and AFAIK close to 90% for Norway.
Stop. I can only get erect so much.
Tesla sales are up in China for 2024 by 8%. But the market is up just over 40%, So Tesla is also losing significant marketshare in China.
I predicted already spring 2024 that Tesla would lose marketshare, I think Musk being a moron has accelerated the process, but it would have happened anyway.
My new prediction in view of recent numbers is that Tesla will not only lose marketshare globally, but their sales will decline.
In USA things are not looking good either, AFAIK sales are down in California, and that's by far the biggest American market.
Elon Musk getting more and more erratic (crazy) will probably mean he makes some stupid decisions for Tesla, And Tesla may likely turn to deficits within 3-5 years.
The only hope to prevent that I can see, is the openly corrupt Trump administration saving him.
Yea. They haven't come out with anything groundbreaking in a long time and the reputation of the build quality is catching up. The last stint was that dumb taxi concept. My erection is only half chub right now but there's still hope.
Correction: Android and apple carplay are just as worse, maybe even more so.
If you're not American it doesnt really matter. Your data in china or your data in the US. Both are bad, m'kay?
Android and apple Carplay aren't funding Musk and all the shitty, shitty things he's doing.
No, just Pichai and Cook who fund Trump.
Google is going to likely sell his AI tech to the military, so you know... They are all shit. Which shit smells worse is a useless comparison, they are all shit.
