Summary
A survey of 100,000 Germans found that 94% refuse to buy a Tesla, signaling a major crisis for the company.
Tesla’s German sales dropped 70% in early 2025 after a 41% decline in 2024, despite overall EV sales rising.
Analysts attribute the slump to CEO Elon Musk’s far-right political endorsements, including promoting the AfD party and making Nazi-related gestures. Musk is under European investigation for political meddling.
With Tesla’s reputation plummeting, industry experts predict further losses in Germany’s competitive EV market.
Looks like some elitist crap to me. Who the fuck buys the “best” especially in something like wine thats replete with elitist bullsit and nobbery to exagerate perceptions of scarcity and create an “investment”. its a fucking consumable.
99% of the people in France can get perfectly good French wine for a handful of euros without importing from USA.
Coudn’t give a fuck about the other 1%.
