| OnceDear Member since: Nov 21, 2017 Threads: 15 Posts: 1788 | Europeans have fallen out of love with Teslas, big-time. Up and coming Chinese BYD have leapt into the market. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/27/business/tesla-sales-europe-plummet-april-intl Why posted in politics subforum? Well, I reckon it's largely to do with the hatred of Musk and his DOGE antics by we distinctly non-MAGA Europeans. We are almost united in loathing the kind of bullying that Musk and his bestie have chosen as a way of life. Many Europeans (and Brits) are boycotting US products in protest. |
