"Nobody lost more money Monday as the stock market reacted to President Donald Trump’s tariffs than Elon Musk, Trump’s self-described “first buddy” and the world’s richest person, as shares of Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla struggled."
Tesla shares lost 5.17% of their value and Musk lost $11.8 Billion from his net worth.

European sales figures for Tesla, comparing January 2024 to January 2025, show an almost 50% drop in sales.

In China, Tesla's biggest market outside the U.S. sales were up in 2024, but their actual market share went down. Their share of the Chinese EV market went from 7.6% in 2023 to 6% in 2024. This was mostly down to having aging models in an increasingly competitive market. 2025 is forecast to be the year where Chinese branded EVs overtake and outperform Tesla in the Chinese market in a big way.
And this was all before Trump started a trade war with China....

Bonus points in the Don't buy Nazi cars competition have got to go to Norway. Not only did they see a 38% drop in Tesla sales last year, this was in a rapidly increasing market for EVs. In Norway, EV sales accounted for an amazing 96% of all new vehicle sales last year.
Boycotting Nazis AND saving the planet? I'm in!

Now this one has got to hurt. In Ireland, Tesla was the Number 1 selling electric car brand last year.
The sales figures for January show that it's not even in the top ten. It was beaten by Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Peugeot, Volvo, Byd, MG, Ford and Skoda.
Musk is a feckin' eedjit.

In the U.K. Tesla sales dropped a measly 12% in January compared to January last year.
In the Don't buy a Nazi car competition, the U.K. seems to be lagging behind other countries, but this headline figure is misleading. It doesn't account for the fact that, overall, EV sales in the U.K. got off to their best ever start to the year and jumped by 35% in January.
Tesla's U.K. market share is now down to 5%.

In the Don't buy a Nazi car competition, Germany just wiped the floor with everybody else.
In January 2025, EV sales increased 53.5% from January 2024. At the same time, Tesla sales just dropped by a staggering 59%.
The Tesla market share in Germany just went from 14% to 4%.
Germany, we salute you!

@ProjectFearlessness there are way better EV's than Tesla available all over Europe - I was visiting relatives in SE England last weekend and stopped at South Mimms (as its a long drive from where I live) and there were way more non-Tesla EVs at the charging stations, and it was only a month ago when I last made the same journey..

Yes, say this quietly, but a fairly big chunk of Tesla's sales decline is because they haven't innovated and all the competition are catching up and overtaking them. The Nazi salute will just accelerate what was already happening.

The reason Norway has such high EV adoption is purely financial: The government axed the 25 percent VAT on car purchases for EVs. Similar idea to the $7500 rebate for EVs in the US.

It needs saying over and over. EVs are not a silver bullet for climate change, but they are at the present point in time an important element alongside other measures. Even in the Danish countryside where I live actually useful public transportation is at best a decade out, and I dream of the day my household only needs one car, the shift to EVs is now.

I like repeating this fact, so I will. Tesla was number 1 EV brand in Ireland in 2024. In January 2025 it was number 11.
Apart from the welcome fact that Ireland hates Musk, it also means you have at least 10 other brands of EV to choose from. With so many non-Nazi options, Tesla's in big trouble

@ProjectFearlessness In January, Telsa sales in France went down 63% compared to January 2024. ICE and hybrids are down. Other EV brands sales are up.
Hint: although EV subsidies are down, France has introduced a charge based on car weight. Pluggable and full hybrids are heavy cars. Small EVs like Renault 5 are lighter.
