Next up: Elon sueing car drivers for not buying his swasticar just like he tried on twitter with advertisers.
He will just buy them himself, look at the sales numbers in Canada… 8,600 cars in 3 days! In Canada…
I think the canadian Feds are looking into that, and I hope they fine the ever loving crap out of him.
*$100. This is how it is done.
Fucking fire Elon so Tesla can actually make good shit. Honestly man, Elon could’ve just stfu and collected money.
I have an alternative proposition:
As a society, we should all agree that car culture is not good. It is not good for the health of cities, not good for the envinronment, not good for anything really. Let’s get as far away from cars as possible and start improving public transport and other ways of moving. One thing I would love to see is more shade in cities, from trees. Way way way more trees.
I assume you’re talking about cities where it’s baking sun and so too hot to walk. One problem. Trees don’t like that either and so need artificial irrigation. Plus trees tend to do lots of damage to drains and sewers as their roots seek water. Generally trees and cities aren’t a great mix except in certain areas (green spaces which are maintained).
Are you speaking as an American or a European? Because I generally think American cities are hostile to anything except cars (being built after cars) and European cities are hostile to cars (being built before cars).
I’ve seen videos of people regreening deserts and it was kinda cool. They like carve out a U shape and plant things that work for the type of environment and it keeps water longer.
I know that wasn’t your point and it’s a complete non-sequitur but I enjoyed the vid.
I think it was videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7pyGgBmzDY
This has more to do with investors than boycotts…
Tesla stock price hasn’t been based on company performance, like, ever.
I’d go as far to say even the reduced sales in Europe aren’t due to anything Tesla is doing, it’s because y’all are allowed to buy BYD, which is better quality than Tesla at less than half the price.
You are right about other manufactors. But many analysts and news sources see a clear effect from boycott, brand rot and Musk-dislike, too. Here are few examples:
German version
Das Nettovermögen von Elon Musk ist in diesem Jahr aufgrund des Einbruchs der Tesla-Aktie um 102 Milliarden Dollar (94 Milliarden Euro) gesunken.
Die Tesla-Aktie wurde durch Verkaufsrückgänge, politische Abneigung gegen Musk und Ablenkungsbedenken in Mitleidenschaft gezogen.
Elon Musk’s net worth has dropped by $102 billion (94 billion euros) this year due to the collapse of Tesla’s stock.
The Tesla stock has been affected by sales declines, political dislike of Musk, and distraction concerns.

German version
Die Tesla-Aktie hat in den letzten zweieinhalb Monaten viel an Wert verloren. Chef Elon Musk muss nun mit 128 Milliarden Dollar weniger auskommen.
Grund für die Nervosität an den Börsen in den letzten Wochen ist die Angst vor einem globalen Handelskrieg, nachdem US-Präsident Trump wiederholt mit Strafzöllen gegen China, Mexiko und Kanada gedroht hat – und diese zeitweise auch umgesetzt hat.
Tesla kämpft zudem mit schlechten Verkaufszahlen in Europa. Die Verkaufszahlen in Europa lagen laut den am Montag veröffentlichten Zahlen im Januar um 45 Prozent unter denen des Vorjahresmonats. Demnach wurden im vergangenen Monat nur etwa 10’000 Tesla-Fahrzeuge auf dem Kontinent verkauft.
The Tesla stock has lost a lot of value in the last two and a half months. CEO Elon Musk now has to make do with $128 billion less.
The reason for the nervousness in the stock markets in recent weeks is the fear of a global trade war after US President Trump repeatedly threatened and temporarily implemented punitive tariffs against China, Mexico, and Canada.
Tesla is also struggling with poor sales figures in Europe. According to the figures released on Monday, sales in Europe in January were 45 percent lower than in the same month last year. According to the report, only about 10,000 Tesla vehicles were sold on the continent last month.
Here also two recent news about how drastic the crash of Tesla sale and share is:

German version
Die Absatzflaute von Tesla hat sich im Februar 2025 fortgesetzt. Nach Angaben des Kraftfahrt-Bundesamtes (KBA) sank die Zahl der Neuzulassungen des US-Elektroautoherstellers in Deutschland im Jahresvergleich um 76,3 Prozent.
Insgesamt legte der Verkauf von Elektroautos hingegen um 30,8 Prozent zu. Schon im Januar 2025 gingen die Zulassungszahlen von Tesla um 60 Prozent zurück.
Tesla’s sales slump continued in February 2025. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), the number of new registrations of the US electric car manufacturer in Germany fell by 76.3 percent year-on-year.
Overall, however, electric car sales increased by 30.8 percent. As early as January 2025, Tesla’s registration figures fell by 60 percent.
German version
In Europa und Nordamerika hat Tesla Probleme. Nun sind auch im wichtigsten Absatzmarkt China die Verkaufszahlen des E-Auto-Herstellers eingebrochen. Das US-Unternehmen verkaufte dort im Februar 30.688 Fahrzeuge – 49 Prozent weniger als im Februar 2024, wie der chinesische Branchenverband CPCA mitteilt.
Der Kursabsturz der Tesla-Aktie setzt sich fort. Der Kurswert sackte bis Dienstagabend um rund fünf Prozent ab. Seit Mitte Dezember hat Tesla mehr als ein Drittel seiner Marktkapitalisierung verloren.
Tesla is facing problems in Europe and North America. Now, sales figures for the e-car manufacturer have also plummeted in the most important market, China. The US company sold 30,688 vehicles there in February – 49 percent less than in February 2024, as the Chinese industry association CPCA reports.
The crash of Tesla’s stock continues. The share price dropped by around five percent by Tuesday evening. Since mid-December, Tesla has lost more than a third of its market capitalization.
Keep up the boycott and protests, it is working. Make Musk poor!
By all means keep up the boycott, no one should be buying Tesla…
But we need to be realistic what caused the stock price to drop and what’s effective. Tesla stock bisnt based on how much Tesla makes. It’s based on what people will pay to buy it.
If the company starts losing money by over manufacturing for their demand, their stock will go down because people don’t like buying stocks in dying companies.
It’s a battle of inches. We have to take every step in order to impact it, not just ignore it and wait for it to go away
their stock will go down because people don’t like buying stocks in dying companies.
Stock price is whatever people are willing to buy it for
Rational investors base that on stuff like you’re talking about.
A lot of Tesla investors don’t value the price of Tesla stock on company performance, they just like Musk and when price drops they buy more.
![[u/AdaXaX] We have power! Tesla’s stock is now 100$ less worth than one month ago. Keep the boycott spinning! Buy from the EU only!](https://feddit.org/pictrs/image/62714b19-8b16-4ee0-8245-713a4dcc9ac1.jpeg){kind=link}
