    I think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.

    Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla… Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.

      There are plenty of Europeans that still have money. These are aimed at the upper upper classes and people in those strata have not been feeling the economic pinch the way many of us have.

      it definitely has to do when musk being a nazi.

      Tesla used to be the brand, the good quality car, the one that you want to get.

      (at least that was how the public saw it, car affictionados don’t count)

      now it’s just cringe

      Telsa used to be a status symbol, and sexy.

      But then their chief chap couldn’t seem to publicly pronounce the popular phrase “Nazi’s suck and I wish to have nothing to do with them”.

      Now Telsa is an anti-status symbol.

      Idk why are you being downvoted. Musk being a nazi is the last of the problems for Tesla. They had being outcompete by BYD in every measure.
