That's what he gets for being a lying idiot nazi prick.

Elon is a BYD marketing asset

I will buy neither.

BYD is selling a lot because is subsidized heavily by the chinese government to disrupt european brands, and this despite having a 35% tariff on top for not disclosing this to the EU.

60% of their business used to be racists. Now its 100%

Who are the losers that still buy a Tesla in Europe?

Did he really think Europe would like his Elon Hitler salute?

I tried to drive a model 3 and it was infuriating to have everything on touch including turn indicators, windshield wipers and especially the gear selector.

Then a huge screen that can't be used with your phone so you're still forced to use a phone holder like a decade ago.

For me a car without carplay/android auto loses $5000 in value, and "touchscreen everything" removes another $5000 in value. I could only accept those compromises in a $20k car if new, $10k if used

Good. May they fall another 40% in 2026. Fuck that company.

Gee do you need to be a wizard to figure out aligning yourself with idiot right wingers wasn't a good business decision when your entire business appeal is about being a good person and saving the planet

The article mentions the reputational damage with a half-sentence, but we all know the main reason no one wants to buy a swasticar is. Europeans have quite the attention span, and as long as Elon is associated with Tesla - which is pretty forever - their brand is poison. Not very truthful journalism, this is.

Liquidate Musk

Not sure if Chinese EVs are improvement...

And their cars are not all roadworthy here in Europe.

Old and busted vs new hotness

I don't get how US stock market pretends China isn't bringing global competitors.

BYD is taking a huge market share on the EV, Temu takes a big market share on e-commerce but both Tesla and Amazon keep growing

From an american billionaire to a chinese billionaire. Glory to Europe, never doing anything well themselves.

It's because people are waiting for the new model Y. 🤣🤣🤣

t’s not only Tesla feeling the heat from Chinese competition. Jeep owner Stellantis, South Korea’s Hyundai Group and Japan’s Toyota and Suzuki, all posted year-on-year declines in European new car registrations in July.

Japan has generally been really underwhelming in the EV market, offering mostly Hybrids. While I hear Hyundai is cheap in USA, that is not really the case in EU, a Huyndai is as expensive as a VW. Stellantis is a crap show, they continuously offer too little too late and overcharge for it.

By contrast, Volkswagen, BMW and Renault Group, were among those that logged increases in new European car registrations across the month.

VW group is really killing it here in Denmark 7 out of top 10 most sold models are from VW group here, and I think in most of EU it's mostly similar, because they offer cars with a very strong combination of range quality and attractive price.

VW has the lowest rate of errors at German mandatory biannual safety check published by TÜV, with for instance Tesla failing 7 times more often, With nearly 15% failure rate!!
In Denmark it's even worse for Tesla with 30% of model 3 failing after 4 years!!! (first mandatory check) And Tesla even rejecting repair under warranty.
The faults aren't minor either, they are serious faults in brakes, suspension and steering! No other brand is nearly is bad as Tesla in safety checks! The average rate is 11% so Tesla is about 3 times worse than average!!
