Yesterday evening, Tesla reported first-quarter earnings for 2025, and they were abysmal: Profits dropped 71% from the same time last year.
Musk sounded bitter on the call with investors that followed, blaming the company’s misfortune on protesters who have raged at Tesla dealerships around the world over his role running DOGE and his ardent support of far-right politicians.
“The protests that you’ll see out there, they’re very organized. They’re paid for,” he said, without evidence.
Worth bearing in mind that EV sales increased something like 24% in Europe from last year, so Tesla (lack of) sales have to be adjusted for that. Even if the number of cars they sold had remained static it would still be troubling.
europe has so many ev’s that cheaper than tesla and with better build quality and service than tesla
and 100% less naziism
For whatever reason this sparked a whole bunch of nonsense in my brain like “100% nazi-free chicken!”
And “should I drink skim milk or 2% Nazi milk?”
or “buy the new German EV, it’s got 50% less nazi than our leading competitors!”
Thanks for that brainwave
That 50% that you built into the car, which half? Or do you grind it up into a paste and put in 50% by volume? Also, is it built into a specific part, or kind of spread throughout?
