UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.

Thatโ€™s not how percentages work.

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 5 points 4 days ago

It's not, but there's probably another proportion of the overall community that are "I like Musk and I have money, so I'm going to buy a car". That number isn't related to the previous number of sales, so if sales are already low that "arsehole" number would become more significant.

It's a made up example, but just saying there may be ways in which the sales won't drop below an absolute number.

Why are the rich so stupid? Just pretend you care about human rights and your sales go up. It's so simple. Why can't they even put up the facade of being a normal person?

[-] witten@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

That was the last era. Now we're in a masks-off gilded age where the ultrarich think they can do it all out in the open.

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 4 points 4 days ago

So far the American Ultra-rich have been doing well when they didn't get Luigi'd.

[-] witten@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, the word "think" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my statement there...

Fuck Elon, but I am starting to feel bad for the guys who just wanted to make an electric car. They didn't deserve to get wrapped up in this monkey's paw. I hope they got out while they could.

[-] Litebit@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

why is Felon Musk not getting fired for poor performance.

From the government? Because he bought it.

From Tesla? Because he is the largest individual stockholder.

I'm ashamed of the UK and Italy.

[-] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

Not so long ago it was up in the U.K., so this is a start.

[-] nednobbins@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

No shame.

I view it as a friendly competition between Europeans. Right now, Spain is in the lead. UK and Italy are trailing but they're still racing in the right direction. I'm cheering for them to catch up.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Italy and the uk need to step it up

[-] sinnsykfinbart@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame

Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc

Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago

If you do speak Czech, Polish etcetera then maybe you can find those numbers. It's not easy for someone who doesn't.

[-] IMALlama@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

This is the second result for me when I used this duck duck go query

In January 2025, according to PZPM data, 1,121 new electric vehicles were registered in Poland, which is 0.4% more than a year earlier. In January, against the background of a calm in the market, Tesla showed an impressive decrease in car shipments to customers - by 48.8% to just 103 units. For comparison, in 2024, about 4,500 new Teslas were registered, which gave the American brand almost a 27% share in the Polish market of new electric passenger cars. In January 2025, this share decreased to 9.2%.

[-] FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 6 points 5 days ago

You love to see it

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.

Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).

Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.

You gonna have to pump those numbers down, those are rookie numbers.

If you're having doubts about how much this movement is working, remember this chart. Keep the boycott going!

France and Spain FTW

[-] Libb@jlai.lu 7 points 5 days ago

I won't cry for Musk, quite the contrary... But I also don't know how important the EU as a market is for Tesla?

Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.

Thatโ€™s just January, just when fElon was just getting started.

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 days ago

What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.

[-] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Tesla has something like 40b in cash, and makes more profit on their vehicles than everyone, even at these lower prices, except for companies like Porsche.

You could probably halve their total sales and they'd still be fine financially.

The stock would be another story though.

What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt?

They'll shrink in size but will always be a big player in the EV market.

The main question is: how big a decline will be required for the board to boot Musk out?

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago

but will always be a big player in the EV market.

Not for long if their sales continue to tank, because that revenue will be going to other manufacturers, who will become bigger than tesla, eventually.

And I don't simply want Musk out. He'd still be rich because of Tesla. I want the company to fold completely. I want his fortunes to be zero, and his influence to be less than zero.

Is turkey considered part of Europe?

Asking as an American so I understand this.

Edit: thank you everybody that replied and my question is asked incorrectly. I meant if it was part of the EU.

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 8 points 5 days ago

geographically some of it is.

"Europe" doesnt always mean "European Union"

[-] valek879@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

Yes, the European part of the country is part of Europe and the rest of the country is in Asia. Source: I listened in middle school.

[-] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I see.

Can you provide a link to your middle school source?

[-] valek879@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

My partner just told me a more interesting question and probably your intent was to ask: is Turkey in the European Union? And no, it is not however Turkey has many ties to Europe especially in defense. Much of the EU is part of NATO and many Europe adjacent countries are also party to the treaty. This includes Turkey.

Turkey is also split between Europe and Asia. Most of the country is in Asia. But the country is split in Istanbul by the Bosporus Strait. The European part of Turkey is on the North side of the strait. This gives Turkey a land border with Greece and Bulgaria.

Also, in the past, the Ottoman empire was pretty damn expensive pushing much further North and containing much of what we call Eastern Europe. Modern Czechia, Austria, Croatia, Poland, and Ukraine form the border for the lands claimed by the Ottomans.

Turkey has asked to join the EU already. It was denied last time but something tells me next time they may be very welcome instead.
(hint: Turkey has the second biggest army in NATO right after the USA and has the most active/quickly growing weapon/armament industry in Europe too)

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 5 days ago

I think a change of government would be required as Erdogan is only getting more authoritarian. I suspect this is partly because he knows the backlash is coming, but that may lead to even harsher crack downs on decent and he could go full Putin. The EU wouldn't want that hot mess inside their borders.

Basically the part west of the link between the Mediterranean sea and the Black sea is considered is considered European and the rest is not.

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago
[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

And this is the European bit of Istanbul:

https://istanbul.tips/guide-about-european-side-of-istanbul-things-to-do-see-how-to-get-around/

It is where most of the key historical buildings are, and I've always had accommodation there (my uncle lived there too). If you are flying in, you'll usually arrive at the main airport, which is also on the European side. If you are foolish to use EasyJet they use an airport on the Asian side which is an awful long way out of the city and involves driving through mile after mile of new tower blocks that are a worry in an earthquake zone (earthquakes are moving westward along the North Anatolian Fault and Istanbul will likely be hit next - it'll be horrific).
