And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.

Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).

Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.

I'm ashamed of the UK and Italy.

Not so long ago it was up in the U.K., so this is a start.

[โ€“] nednobbins@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago

No shame.

I view it as a friendly competition between Europeans. Right now, Spain is in the lead. UK and Italy are trailing but they're still racing in the right direction. I'm cheering for them to catch up.

Why are the rich so stupid? Just pretend you care about human rights and your sales go up. It's so simple. Why can't they even put up the facade of being a normal person?

Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.

Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc

Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research

I won't cry for Musk, quite the contrary... But I also don't know how important the EU as a market is for Tesla?

If you're having doubts about how much this movement is working, remember this chart. Keep the boycott going!

France and Spain FTW

What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.

[โ€“] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 1 day ago

Tesla's stock price has little to do with Tesla going bankrupt. This is about Musk himself. He's heavily invested in Tesla and as Tesla's stock goes down his net worth and power goes down.

What it does make difficult for Tesla is to raise money through investment.

Tesla's problem with all of this is brand damage. Best thing Tesla could do now to recover the brand is remove Musk as CEO. However, as the largest investor he's almost self-appointed.

They'll shrink in size but will always be a big player in the EV market.

The main question is: how big a decline will be required for the board to boot Musk out?

[โ€“] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

If they shrink in size, and the EV market becomes "all cars" then they'll be insignificant.

but will always be a big player in the EV market.

Not for long if their sales continue to tank, because that revenue will be going to other manufacturers, who will become bigger than tesla, eventually.

And I don't simply want Musk out. He'd still be rich because of Tesla. I want the company to fold completely. I want his fortunes to be zero, and his influence to be less than zero.

[โ€“] wewbull@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

I'd rather the stock gets hammered, he loses his wealth and has to sell his stock to cover himself, he gets fired as CEO and then the company goes on and does well after he is nothing to do with it.

I'd quite like the company to do well. I just want it to be without him.

Why are only some countries included? Did it go up in the other ones?
