In Germany and the German government provides subsidies. They also have to wait 3-4 months for their car.

Subsidies were covered in the article

Most places in Europe are far more conducive to owning an EV. They have no suburbs for some reason.

Cybercuck is a certified failure. Sales are way down in Cali. And questions about the CyberCab abound.

Time for Leon to get back to work. Needs to sell more cars l, quickly. He's SOL in most of big markets he wants to play in

But losing marketshare, bigly

He's got to make up for all those cars he's not selling globally. You gonna start buying Tesla? He's gonna need to ride the MAGA tsunami.

Good thing he's not competing here against BYD or sales would be crashing even further.

Tesla's earnings were abysmal.

If the left gets away with their intimidation campaign it sets a REALLY bad precedent. The DOJ needs to make an example out of a few of these wackos before people start dying. Imaging if the pro-sanity crowd had started burning beer distributors and violently harassing anyone they saw drink a Budweiser product. Anyone even remotely involved would’ve been locked up indefinitely without charges or due process. Not giving in to the demands of terrorists has always been the policy of the US, we need to start taking a VERY hard line with these people.

Musk needs to take a hard line on getting back to work and repairing the damage he's done to Tesla's rep and try to salvage his sales.

Turning the Cybercuck into am everyday pickup isn't the answer.

VW has surpassed Tesla in European EV sales for the first time.

Musk can do whatever the fuck he wants. A billion here and a billion there to him is equivalent to change people like us lose in the sofa.

I wouldn’t buy a Volkswagen product on a bet, electric or otherwise. Maybe a 74 bug or 80s Rabbit, but nothing built in the last quarter century. They make unreliable vehicles that are twice as expensive to service.

[HDGristle]

Musk has a fiduciary responsibility to Tesla shareholders and needs to right the ship.

It also doesn't matter whether you would buy a VW or not matters in the context of them outselling Tesla in the European market. It just happened.

Musk can do whatever he wants... except get a girlfriend, act like a normal human being, make people like him, be a decent father, invent anything at all, go a day without embarrassing himself, etc...

That wouldn't happen to be due to tariffs from the EU on Tesla, would it?
