Summary

Tesla’s registrations in France dropped 63% in January, their lowest since August 2022, far outpacing the broader total EV sales’ 0.5% decline.

Tesla registrations across EU countries fell 13% last year, with Germany accounting for much of the decline.

Sales in Germany, Tesla’s biggest European market, also fell 41% last year due to an aging lineup, competition, and subsidy cuts.

CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement, including support for Germany’s far-right party, may be affecting demand.

      I don’t think you understand what “hedging their bets” means.

        It means they invested a few of their spare billions into opposing technology and companies while you sit at home deciding if you are buying eggs or milk this week.

        You dropped this 🤡

          So, they’re not Tesla shareholders?

              Ah, so they no longer care about how their Tesla shares perform, because they’ve invested in multiple companies. Gotcha! You’re great at investing, I can tell.

                  And you’re one of those “oops, I realized I was wrong so I accused someone of being a troll and made my escape” posters.
