    Congratulations Germany, you did well.

    Tesla sales are down 59% for January Year Over Year, and EV sales are up 50% for January also compare to last year. And the marketshare is stated to have dropped from 14% to 4%. That means that Tesla marketshare dropped a whopping 73% !!!
    Looking from the other side, it means that Tesla only has just above a fourth (27%) marketshare left, declining almost 3 fourths in JUST ONE YEAR!!! That’s absolutely insane and normally unheard of losses for a major brand.

    one factor behind Tesla’s sales decline in Germany could be that consumers were waiting for the upgraded Y model

    I seriously doubt the new model will make much difference, it may help Tesla a little, but the truth is Tesla aren’t really better than the competition anymore, facelift or not. Here in Denmark VW group thoroughly beat Tesla on EV sales for the year 2024. So no doubt Tesla is already in steep decline in many places. From what we know right now, sales of Tesla are in steep decline in Germany, France, Norway and Denmark.

    Only UK is known to have only moderate decline, but they probably think it’s independence for UK to buy Tesla, because fuck Europe for some reason???

      That’s a strange comment to make and I doubt it has anything to do with the EU.

      Any UK EV car review I watch, the Tesla comes out on top. The issue with EV’s is public charging and Tesla’s charging network is a big reason people go with Tesla’s. They also tend to have the longest range and retain their value longer. Company cars are also favouring EV’s to make themselves look better and once again the Tesla is the recommended vehicle by the leasing company. Why? Because of the charging network.

      The other obvious one is the UK public consumes a lot of US media and social media and therefore is now heavily influenced by the US.

        Charging is not a problem for non Tesla cars in UK, you just need to be registered with about 7 apps on your phone. 😜
        Here Tesla is no longer reviewed as a top car, except the price/range ratio is very good with model 3.
        2 of the top reviewed in 2024 are the new KIA E3 and Renault Scenic Etech. But that is not at all reflected in sales for some reason.
        For many reviewers the Skoda Enyaq 80 iV. was the shit a few of years ago, and it is still almost universally praised, and the newer Enyaq 85 is even better. I don’t see Tesla having anything even close.
        If I had more money, I’d be looking at the BMW i4.

        Tesla cars are flawed safety wise by design, and have documented poor safety. I’m not sure they should even be legal here!!!

          I’ve seen the figures, it’s a small average percentage drop from year on year.

          Which is expected as inflation and general costs increase, causing less sales of luxury products like Tesla’s

      There are very few that remember left, You have to be 90 years old to remember WW2.
      But many of us learned about Fascism and Nazism in public school, and we have seen the historic very clear evidence of how evil it is.

      Absolutely, they’ve been praised for best range for the price, but the cars are crap, with 30% failing 4 year safety check in Denmark.
      They also have a number of issues, on how functions are handled, both essential and non essential, that I personally suspect is the reason they have the worst accident record of all brands. Blinker on the steering wheel instead of on a stick, is OK in maybe 95% of the situations you need to use them, but the remaining 5% it’s awkward and distracting, and maybe people completely fail to use them correctly.
      So yes they are crap, in part because Tesla ignores safety or is even ignorant about why things are done like they are. And this is shown blatantly clear with the 4 years safety check here in Denmark. No other brand is even close to being as bad as Tesla.

        I thought about this the other day, i would highly assume all car manufacturers are bad in one way or another. Or mega corporations in general. VW faked their pollution tests for example and there is no way to sugar-coat it. But what they do is tomake their cars look better than they are to increase profits, like every other manufacturer as well. Like no tesla ever goes as far as they say they go with a charge. By buying tesla, you are supporting some nazi cunt, which can’t be said for any other car company.

      VW group is leading in Denmark now on EV, and is now almost twice as big on EV sales as Tesla!!
      But the laugh gets better if you read on.
      Because Skoda and Audi are closing in too, only 10-15% behind Tesla, and those are also owned by VW, and then just to cement their dominance, they also have Cupra with about half the sales of Tesla, and just for shit and giggles, they also have Porsche, which is the only luxury brand on the EV list besides Mercedes.

      For January Model Y has dropped from being #1 sold model to 6th place!!! With WV group having 4 models that are more popular than Model Y!!
      Model 3 is way down the list, so it’s not just people waiting for the new model Y. Tesla sales are plummeting for real.

          Yes Denmark is small, but sales of Tesla in France are down 64%, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all down more than 40%, and Germany 59%.
          So this appear to be a pretty strong European trend. And although Denmark and Norway are small countries, we have pretty big EV marketshare with 50% of cars sold are EV in Denmark, and AFAIK close to 90% for Norway.

              Tesla sales are up in China for 2024 by 8%. But the market is up just over 40%, So Tesla is also losing significant marketshare in China.

              I predicted already spring 2024 that Tesla would lose marketshare, I think Musk being a moron has accelerated the process, but it would have happened anyway.

              My new prediction in view of recent numbers is that Tesla will not only lose marketshare globally, but their sales will decline.
              In USA things are not looking good either, AFAIK sales are down in California, and that’s by far the biggest American market.

              Elon Musk getting more and more erratic (crazy) will probably mean he makes some stupid decisions for Tesla, And Tesla may likely turn to deficits within 3-5 years.

              The only hope to prevent that I can see, is the openly corrupt Trump administration saving him.

      I just had a comparison between Musk and Henry Ford pop up.

      And a thought, that enshittification doesn’t hurt us, them too.

      Such people then were capable of organizing efficient mass production with the capital. Now Tesla exists because of SpaceX PR success.

      Musk is not that dumber than Ford.

      The majority didn’t agree that everyone has critical flaws, that was going on for half a century, thus a society for perfect people was built. Everyone has critical flaws and everything has. Difference between programs and laws of 1950 and now is similar, but not computers and humans.

      Hence libertarianism, with nested, parallel and relative legal systems.
