BYD? Yeah no.

Incredible value for money but I do not think it is an ethical choice (for me) to buy such a car. It would also have to come from the EU as well, see mad hatter Musk lately.

Let’s cut it in half again. I want every loan Elon has to be recalled.

For a while, every company who wanted to so some Virtue signaling was giving Tesla rather than Mercedes to their executive as a way to tell the general public *we're environmentally conscious* that part of Tesla's marketing is gone for good.

Moreover, and most-likely a bigger factor in the sales drop is that, every car maker has now an electric offer. Let alone all the advertising for BYD who really tries to enter the European market. So mechanically Tesla sales are dropping

I'm amazed it's only half. Who is still buying these? His original target demographic is the one he alienated, the "drill baby drill" audience isn't going to rush to the EV market.
