NEW YORK (AP) — Europeans still aren’t buying Teslas with figures out Wednesday showing sales plunged for a fifth month in a row in May, a blow to investors who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now.
Tesla sales fell 28% last month in 30 European countries even as the overall market for electric vehicles expanded sharply, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. The poor showing comes after Tesla’s billionaire CEO had promised a “major rebound” was coming last month, adding to a recent buying frenzy among investors.
Doesn’t seem to bother most people in Australia, many just use a lot of whataboutism condemning Chinese vehicles and then unironically going on about how you should ignore politics becase Tesla’s cars “are great”.
We’re majoroty polotically conservative and there are many stupid Trump supporters here, in a LeopardsAteMyFace way.
Theres also lots of competition now, we have no tarrifs on Chinese cars in Australia and BYD for example is selling well and Tesla only has 2 models here, the 3 amd the Y (RHD country).
