Don’t Buy Teslas
By 
I hardly need to say this to you, but the Germans are sure taking this to heart.
Electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla saw car sales drop by 59% year-on-year in Germany last month, according to the country’s Federal Motor Transport Authority.
Tesla, the world’s largest EV maker which has its only European factory in Germany, registered 1,277 new cars in the country in January.
That’s the lowest monthly figure seen since July 2021.
It’s also despite the fact that Germany’s wider EV market was up 54% in January, reducing Tesla’s market share from 14 to 4%.
Of course, electric cars that are also well made could have something to do with the Germans choosing a different option.
Seems that Tesla sales were down sharply across Europe as well. We will see if this is a larger reaction to Musk being a fascist piece of shit or whether there are other, more structural, factors at play.
Also, I took that picture on the streets of Portland, Maine last week. Will be using it again.
