One of the issues with these percentage stats is that we were not as big of purchasers of Tesla as the rest of Europe so it's going to be harder for us to have as large of drops.
If you look, France has dropped that much just to catch up with us.
Even before the others dropped you were 3rd most out of 8.
Now you're 1st most.

Swer n me mum. You brits cant get through a day without a dig at a frenchie, do ya?
Why the Jamacian accent?
Being last is what we do best
I'm doing my part. I can't afford a Swasticar anyway.
I can afford a bunch of Nazi stickers, though!
Iโm thinking about putting a kit together to leave under windscreen wipersโฆ
Option 1: dental floss to remove the Tesla badge. Option 2: a swastika sticker to put next to the Tesla badge.
That way we will know for certain if they are Nazis or not.
But how else would us red, white, and blue headed step-children know how to make you somehow look better in comparison?
The EV market is crashing. If you exclude Tesla from the figures, the EV market is up 13%.
I dont think people grasp that he doesnt really care about tesla anymore, his shareholders are having a stroke, but he personally, has other sources of wealth that are more important to his megalomania now, namely starlink and spacex, and all the government subsidies that come from them.
at the end of the day, tesla is just a car company, and when you're a megalomaniac trying to design the entire world to your liking, thats small fry stuff
That's why we need to elect someone who will get the ball rolling on jailing Musk.

Yes, the new version of "nobility" that doesn't want to pay taxes. They make a company and then get government handouts.
well, sort of. see, the way money works at that scale, everything is about leveraging stuff.
and a lot of his stuff is leveraged off tesla stock. so it won't kill him, but it will at least make an example of him, and be a substantial hit to his assets. like, change the way he lives hit to his income.
edit: assuming the banks don't just slobber all over his dick giving him a pass and free money. which they may.

Your post has been removed for promoting violence /s
These guys want to be like Russia and other 'strong men' led countries so bad, let them have a Russian economy, and the same worldwide product 'dominance' as Russia too.
Damn, dude! The Lada was shit, but it wasn't a Tesla!

Not to trow sand in the gears, but let's wait until the numbers after the launch of the new model Y comes in. Some buyers might waiting for that one.
Quick, somebody tell him that changing models from X to Y makes the cars trans.
Why? Are they eager to have their car set on fire?
Nobody should be buying a Tesla in 2025. It literally funds Nazis.
OP is right, not everyone pays much attention to whatโs going on, or doesnโt think much of it from their information sphere.
That being said, I wouldnโt expect good sales either.
Lots of other car manufacturers also have new models on the market in 2025.
Some buyers might want to get those.
In canada they banned competition for no reason... It has to come from the imperial core and vassal states or it's illegal
what do these percentages mean? is that stock value?
For most countries that are the percentages the numbers of new car registrations by brand went down compared to same month last year.
As these are published monthly by the respective countries we can get a glimpse at the new car sales for each brand. In Germany for example in February 25 there were 76% less new car registrations Tesla compared to February 24. Meaning there were 76% less new Tesla sold than a year before.
Probably sales from the looks of the numbers, which is way more important.
Itโs a bit dramatic though, as much of the drop is from competition.
The potential side effects of ketamine include dissociative experiences that may lead to confusion or impaired motor coordination, cognitive disturbances, and, with repeated misuse, the risk of developing a substance use disorder.
UK, what are you doing
We never got rid of lead water service pipes to existing houses and have a fetish for old properties. A cautionary tale really.

Cyber trucks were banned for sale in the UK, so maybe they have less far to fall? Also good on them for banning those mobile dumpsters in the first place!
