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

[-] rhombus@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months 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.

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.

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

[-] Viper_NZ@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 months ago

I bought a Tesla years ago before Elon completely removed the mask.

No way I’d buy one now, but I also don’t want to sell it early and lose a tonne of money.

The Tesla board should intervene and remove him, but they won’t because he’s stacked it with yes men like his brother.

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

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 66 points 2 months 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.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 2 months 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.

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 75 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 74 points 2 months ago

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

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

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

[-] abfarid@startrek.website 11 points 2 months ago

Doesn't make my comment not true.

And I don't filter or block anything or anyone. Rawdogging Lemmy, the way God intended.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

So you just like to complain then?

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Might be his only joy in life. Let him be, as long as he's not too rude about it.

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

There's no point in blocking everything. I'm interested in what's happening with Trump and the US, with Tesla, the occasional Linux news, but when my feed is 90% "Why Linux is actually good", "Musk/Trump bad", "Tesla shares in EU down again" for the fifth time, it gets annoying. Blocking stuff is too crude a tool.

[-] NoSpotOfGround@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Let us enjoy our schadenfreude!!

[-] singletona@lemmy.world 60 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 8 points 2 months ago

He has family members and toadies on the board

[-] TheBrit@lemm.ee 49 points 2 months ago

Gone from the coolest car to the most embarrassing, and these people are supposed to be smart.

[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 months ago

As a publicly traded US company, can't the board of directors vote Elon out because of tanking sales? Seems like that's the only way for the company to survive at this point.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 2 months ago

In a normal company they could, but the board are all loyal to him, not the company. Recently they insisted in giving him a 50 BILLION bonus, yes, with B. No chance they will intervene. And putting a puppet CEO like at Twitter won't have a strong effect either.

He'll still retain his shares. Which is the source of his wealth.

For my money I'm going to throw a goddamn party if this cursed stock hits double digits.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Cause everyone at Tesla is a spineless grifter too.

Let’s get it to 90%. We can do it.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 29 points 2 months ago
[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 14 points 2 months ago

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

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

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

[-] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 months 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

Tesla is a meme stock in the disguise of a car company. It being down 30% means little, if anything volatility is good for big market players. Allows them to fleece more people. In a month Trump will announce a big tesla contract and it'll go back up.

Or so I tell myself because pessimism is easier to live with.

[-] tonytins@pawb.social 17 points 2 months ago

Brings a tear of joy.

[-] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago

Beautiful news.

[-] Australis13@fedia.io 16 points 2 months ago

Music to my ears.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months 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.

[-] pls@lemmy.plaureano.nohost.me 10 points 2 months ago

Good. 30% left to go.

[-] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

My heart pumps purple piss for fElon.

[-] pntha@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

the UK being the only growth market speaks volumes
