& if you want a more affordable alternative & don't want Chinese EVs, then try out India's Mahindra

And people keep buying and propping up Tesla stock. Lol
- Tesla stock is 50% up in the last year, despite losses in the EU and a poor outlook in the US.
  Who thinks now is a good time to buy this stock?
  
  Tesla's stock price isn't based on car sales, so falling car sales shouldn't make a huge difference.
  Maybe 10% of their stock price can be attributed to the auto sector, but when they can swing that much every week, it's basically irrelevant.
one of the only silver linings of 2025... watchin tesla start to circle the drain
- But not before Musk gives himself a 29 billion dollar bailout. A grift from himself, to himself.
  
  In Tesla stock, which hopefully collapses, but the markets are crazy.
They were always going to lose some market share once viable competitors started rising, but those are huge numbers
- Not just viable but obviously Superior competition.
According to data from the German KBA (January–July 2025), Tesla now holds a 3.4% market share in the EV segment in Germany (equivalent to 0.6% of the overall car market). Just 1 in 30 newly registered EVs in Germany is a Tesla.
Since 2019, Tesla’s share of the German EV market has dropped by 80%. Back then, it was 17%.
Not one more penny to Elon the Nazi Musk.
