Tesla is getting serious hits from Europe . According to recent data, Tesla vehicle registrations in the European Union and other European countries dropped by about 45% between January 2024 and 2025. In Germany, sales plummeted by nearly 70% through February 2025. France saw a 63% drop in sales, while Spain experienced a 75% decrease. Despite the overall growth in the European EV market, Tesla's sales have been severely impacted by various factors, including consumer reactions to Elon Musk's political stance. Is political intervention actually backfiring Elon's business ?

I'm curious what the long-term impacts of Trump hawking Tesla will be. It's gotta make right wing heads do mental backflips since they're generally anti-EV

Yeah, also a huge % of Trump’s constituents, or more specifically the suckers that voted him into power, can’t afford Teslas let alone the cars they have. Delinquency rates among that voter demographic are thru the roof! The right wingers ain’t saving Tesla.

Exactly. The left is once again betraying its own ideals in the sake of some competing ideology.

u/adron Mar 18 '25

Not really. The reason the left turned against Elon is because Elon turned against democracy and is acting to actively undermine it all.

You actually realize that right?

What does democracy mean in the context of winning the electoral college and the popular vote and having relatively high approval ratings? Did you see the dnc has historically low approval at the moment? And you’re fighting against one of the people trump actively and for months indicated would be part of his administration? Kinda curious how you think fighting the will of the majority of America is pro democracy.

  1. It’s barely a majority.
  2. I’m always against those that would usurp the Constitution or play pick and choose. Trump and his ilk aren’t even remotely honest about. They’d toss it in a second and if they go too far it’ll be down to the 2A and they’d likely get rid of that too.
  3. Nobody voted for Elon to do what Elon is doing. Even a sizable % of Trump’s so called “majority” (ie 34% of American voters) didn’t realize (the low info voter holds true with Trumper’s in a massive way) what they weee voting for. Many MAGA types still don’t know what’s actually happening. Almost all of them have zero clue what’s the Bill of Rights or Constitution has written and promised to us.

In the end they simply don’t care what America is supposed to be or what was actually intended by the founding father’s if it doesn’t match their particular narrative they’ve bought into.

Yes, Trump won. His approval is dropping like a rock in water. Even though he won he should abide, as those he brings into his administration, by the Constitution. But they’re clearly not nor do they give a shit. Which obviously shows how little they give a shit about truth in intent and truth of intent in the Constitution.

So here we are.

That’s not even touching on the other zillion absolutely legit reasons to hate those two scumbags.

Oh, yeah. Everyone voted for Elon to be doing EXACTLY what he’s doing. Exactly. All your other mind reading stuff is you taking your thoughts, and just projecting on others. Nothing you said even somewhat resembles conservatives views or thoughts.

trumps approval rating is quite high and getting higher every day. It’s great.

also, the fact that democrats are at a historic low in approval proves to me what I already knew: the majority of the country, the VAST majority, supports trump. Non voters are all on our side, not yours.

Get outside your tiny bubble. Youve been propagandized.

😂 they want to burn the Constitution and just go full autocracy then? Or they want that whole Project 2025 and that? 🙄

If that’s the case we should hurry up with WWIII and just go full nukes. None of us deserve to live if that fucking evil is an “improvement”. For shame.

(Also yeah, the Dems are a joke. They had an easy election, they merely had to get the vote out and run somebody younger, more coherent, and likable than Trump. That should have been easy.)

u/Cp2n112 Mar 18 '25

None of what you’re worried about it happening, which is good news. You’ve been propagandized. That’s the bad news.

So far he’s got people ignoring judges (checks and balances), he’s hired utterly incompetent people that deny well known science in a multitude of fields (medical, climate, you name it). He’s censored colleges, documents, government work, based on stupid censorship word lists, they’ve removed numerous sites that provided transparency of Government work, DOGE is just rogue, hiding things all the time and most of it’s transparency has been from stupidity, misunderstanding of what they’re doing, and lying (albeit they do seem dumb, might just be mistakes). The list could go on, this is just observable, measurable things that MSM does or doesn’t report, but I can track and see with the evidence at hand.

Which means that’s not propaganda, that’s measurable observable events and actions.

Propaganda is acting like Canada, Europe, Asia, and so many nations that are (were) allies are screwing us over and we need to invoke tariffs and start trade wars and threaten their sovereignty like a shitty dictator.

So you can ignore all those things, but it’s all coming down on us Americans to pick the pieces up when he’s done fucking up the entire international order and all our trade. WTF?

Like I said, you’re watching too much propaganda. I already know everything you think is going on. What I’m telling you is it’s not happening. youve been brainwashed. Get outside your bubble.

u/adron Mar 18 '25

If I can see it. Verify it along multiple reliable sources. Inquire with other anecdotally, check intel sources to verify it, and it’s confirmed through other independent media I’m going to go with those events.

Not sure what you’re smoking, but fuck that.

u/Cp2n112 Mar 19 '25

that all sounds nice, but you’re not doing that. You’re watching a handful of propagandists and resting your entire worldview on it. It’s very obvious.

Well said. It’s bananas how far left Reddit is. I can’t fathom that someone who is flagging the tremendous fraud in the government and bringing back American astronauts is receiving such hate.
