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.

They were selling on Wednesday, pushing the prices down more than 4% in early afternoon trading.

Never understood the appeal of Teslas. I tried one once and the finishes are truly the worst I've ever seen in a car. Inside the vehicle, it's really Dacia tier

If you want EVs to be a thing, China has won the round on this one.

Sad but true

And still "Top Managers" wonder why...

And their stock is still too damn high!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

that stock price is not rooted in anything real (and hasn't for a long time). I can't wait until that bubble bursts with a bang i can hear from Europe.

At this point if a person buys teslas they are either a Nazi or ignorant and neither is good.

Ignorant, e.g. the "I didn't know" crowd 1 mile downwind of the concentration camp.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I’ll be happy when there’s nothing to report because there are no more sales.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I read Musk fired the Tesla manager for Europe and North America over the low sales, as if those weren't a direct result of Musk's own actions. Like there is only one person responsible for pushing the stupid cybertruck and for associating the brand with fascism.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Don't you know that he's a genius and none of what he says or does can have any bad consequence? If it's not because of him, it must be because of someone else. Oh, BTW: he also fired a manager in Tesla who voiced against him damaging the brand name.

None of these people know anything about anything. Only Elon knows!!

Let's hope they drop even further 🙏

Even MAGAs are embarrassed to drive one of his Nazi mobiles

Liquidate Musk

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Could I have a list of these "investors?" Because they sound like fools who deserve to be tricked out of their money.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Just look up the Musk followers on Xitter.
