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?
why is Felon Musk not getting fired for poor performance.
From the government? Because he bought it.
From Tesla? Because he is the largest individual stockholder.
And the board is made up of his toadies.
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
If you do speak Czech, Polish etcetera then maybe you can find those numbers. It's not easy for someone who doesn't.
This is the second result for me when I used this duck duck go query
In January 2025, according to PZPM data, 1,121 new electric vehicles were registered in Poland, which is 0.4% more than a year earlier. In January, against the background of a calm in the market, Tesla showed an impressive decrease in car shipments to customers - by 48.8% to just 103 units. For comparison, in 2024, about 4,500 new Teslas were registered, which gave the American brand almost a 27% share in the Polish market of new electric passenger cars. In January 2025, this share decreased to 9.2%.
I'm ashamed of the UK and Italy.
Not so long ago it was up in the U.K., so this is a start.
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.
Fuck Elon, but I am starting to feel bad for the guys who just wanted to make an electric car. They didn't deserve to get wrapped up in this monkey's paw. I hope they got out while they could.
These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame

If you're having doubts about how much this movement is working, remember this chart. Keep the boycott going!
You gonna have to pump those numbers down, those are rookie numbers.
France and Spain FTW
Italy and the uk need to step it up
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?
It is third after NA and Asia but still huge.
You mean China? They are not part of NATO. Note that the election of Trump have almost made it crystal clear the USA does not care much about NATO anymore (they seem to only care about Ukraine's underground which is not yet part of the EU (what a happy coincidence). So Turkish armed force ranking may very well already be a non-question just that we, NATO-members, have not been officially told so yet... In Which case China and Russia, and Turkey?, would be very happy.
You love to see it
That’s just January, just when fElon was just getting started.
Is turkey considered part of Europe?
Asking as an American so I understand this.
Edit: thank you everybody that replied and my question is asked incorrectly. I meant if it was part of the EU.
geographically some of it is.
"Europe" doesnt always mean "European Union"
Turkey has asked to join the EU already. It was denied last time but something tells me next time they may be very welcome instead.
(hint: Turkey has the second biggest army in NATO right after the USA and has the most active/quickly growing weapon/armament industry in Europe too)I think a change of government would be required as Erdogan is only getting more authoritarian. I suspect this is partly because he knows the backlash is coming, but that may lead to even harsher crack downs on decent and he could go full Putin. The EU wouldn't want that hot mess inside their borders.
And this is the European bit of Istanbul:
https://istanbul.tips/guide-about-european-side-of-istanbul-things-to-do-see-how-to-get-around/
It is where most of the key historical buildings are, and I've always had accommodation there (my uncle lived there too). If you are flying in, you'll usually arrive at the main airport, which is also on the European side. If you are foolish to use EasyJet they use an airport on the Asian side which is an awful long way out of the city and involves driving through mile after mile of new tower blocks that are a worry in an earthquake zone (earthquakes are moving westward along the North Anatolian Fault and Istanbul will likely be hit next - it'll be horrific).
Basically the part west of the link between the Mediterranean sea and the Black sea is considered is considered European and the rest is not.

What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.
Tesla has something like 40b in cash, and makes more profit on their vehicles than everyone, even at these lower prices, except for companies like Porsche.
You could probably halve their total sales and they'd still be fine financially.
The stock would be another story though.
What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt?
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?
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.
If they shrink in size, and the EV market becomes "all cars" then they'll be insignificant.
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.
It is less about portability on sales and more about the ability to drive R&D.
The technology will continue to improve. If they fall behind, that will be what really tanks sales.
They have a lot of cash but they need to keep feeding the R&D on batteries, charging, software, and cost reduction tech.
Their biggest protection is tariffs since fairly large markets are locking out all their real competition. As long as those are in place, they will be able to soak up much of the EV demand.
Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.
Q1 vs Q1 Tesla is up in China, it was something tiny like less than 2% though where q1 2024 was already low.
They're still down pretty much everywhere else though.
Generally speaking, picking individual months is pretty meaningless.
China needs to tariff tesla heavily to protect their companies.
Why are only some countries included? Did it go up in the other ones?
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.
