Reminder to anyone who bought a Tesla years ago before musk publicly admitted he's nazi. If you have free data or supercharging on the old cars, use it as much as you can. You're costing Tesla money just by existing and using their services. Do with that what you will.

[-] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 96 points 2 weeks ago

Excellent. Fuck Musk and all his companies. Biggest leech on the planet. He didn’t make his money, he stole it.

[-] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 21 points 2 weeks ago

He did. But he stole it from the US government / tax payers. Every president since Obama has fallen over themselves to pour tax payer money into his arsehole. And he is living the high life because of it. This is literally what the US wants. They love subsidising this bitch.

[-] prole 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

His entire life, since the day he was born, has been built entirely on exploitation.

Hey UK!

Can we just try not to be last for once, please?

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

One of the issues with these percentage stats is that we were not as big of purchasers of Tesla as the rest of Europe so it's going to be harder for us to have as large of drops.

If you look, France has dropped that much just to catch up with us.

Being last is what we do best

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

I'm doing my part. I can't afford a Swasticar anyway.

I can afford a bunch of Nazi stickers, though!

But how else would us red, white, and blue headed step-children know how to make you somehow look better in comparison?

[-] Gork@lemm.ee 39 points 2 weeks ago

This is the best way to strike back against Musk.

Hit his pocketbook. Tank his net worth.

[-] IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz 16 points 2 weeks ago

Tank his net worth.

It's not just his personal worth. Twitter purchase was/is largely dependent on Tesla stock. So he's not only losing his own credit and should the trend continue some big players in investment business won't be happy either. He has been an useful idiot on raising the stock prices, but he is very much sacrificial if the things go too far. I don't know why he hasn't been replaced already, but the trend in US of A seems to be that you can do whatever stupid shit you can come up with and keep doing that without consequences. So maybe the big players are still benefiting from what he and the other guy are doing.

When The stock market crash's you can buy into companies quite cheap.

The EV market is crashing. If you exclude Tesla from the figures, the EV market is up 13%.

[-] latenightnoir 30 points 2 weeks ago

Good. I hope he's angry about it. It would make me very happy.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

He is. And sad. But he says he doesn't understand where this hate comes from. Real genius, that guy.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

he fried his brain with Special K.

[-] latenightnoir 5 points 2 weeks ago

Nah, the drug abuse is just another fuck-up in a long string of fuck-ups. The dude's always been a weirdo, he just didn't have the balls to go full Monty until the entire world started fluffing him up as the IRL Tony Stark. He feels invincible and it's pretty much our fault. I know I had some hope in what he was doing (even if just for a lack of better options), do I feel stupid now...

I still find it hilarious that he supposedly has a 165 IQ when everytime he opens his mouth he sounds so unintelligent and stumbles over words and uses meme language. I have never heard that man say a single intelligent thing in all the time I have known of his existence.

I wonder what Chinese bloke he hired to take his IQ test for him.

I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.

at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you're a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff

[-] Viskio_Neta_Kafo@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

That's why we need to elect someone who will get the ball rolling on jailing Musk.

Yes, the new version of "nobility" that doesn't want to pay taxes. They make a company and then get government handouts.

Swasticar becoming unpopular. About time.

[-] Zero22xx 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

These guys want to be like Russia and other 'strong men' led countries so bad, let them have a Russian economy, and the same worldwide product 'dominance' as Russia too.

[-] PyroNeurosis 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn, dude! The Lada was shit, but it wasn't a Tesla!

Anna needs to learn the difference between a total and an average

[-] Krelis_@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I know what you saying but the average would be adding those percentages together and dividing by the number of countries listed, which is -44.7% and is not getting the total sales for each year across all countries and get that -47.7% shown as total and is a more meaningful number because those markets are different sizes

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oh fair enough that makes sense. The additional context would have been good in the original post as I thought it was a simple average

[-] xye@lemm.ee 19 points 2 weeks ago

Your post has been removed for promoting violence /s

[-] zzffyfajzkzhnsweqm@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

Nice. Remove the nazimobil from our roads.

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Not to trow sand in the gears, but let's wait until the numbers after the launch of the new model Y comes in. Some buyers might waiting for that one.

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Why? Are they eager to have their car set on fire?

Nobody should be buying a Tesla in 2025. It literally funds Nazis.

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

OP is right, not everyone pays much attention to what’s going on, or doesn’t think much of it from their information sphere.

That being said, I wouldn’t expect good sales either.

South of the alps. Big peninsula, looks like a boot. Can't miss it.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 10 points 2 weeks ago

Then why do I miss it so much?

[-] prole 5 points 2 weeks ago
[-] superkret@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Apart from the food, sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system and public health...

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 18 points 2 weeks ago

Down 55% according to Reuters (although these numbers don't match up with the ones in the post, so they're probably not directly comparable in some way)

[-] Jivebunny@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Hypocrite feels (says) what?

Fuck him and his shitty vehicles

[-] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

what do these percentages mean? is that stock value?

He’ll have long since pivoted from this venture onto whatever insider trading he’s up to alongside defrauding the state.

We never got rid of lead water service pipes to existing houses and have a fetish for old properties. A cautionary tale really.
