Tesla Sales Plummet 80.7% in Sweden Amid Elon Musk Backlash

Not great to hear.

Apparently sales are up in Norway by about 11% for April.

Well, actually Tesla has a subsidiary which is a Swedish company. But the only shareholder of that company is probably the US parent.

TIL that Tesla Sverige shares its business address with Techem AB. I didn't know that Techem is international. Thought they only existed here in Germany.

Tesla is not a Swedish company, so shareholders can not sue it in Sweden.

Not in Sweden he hasn't (yet)

That is why Musk has bought the president.

probably. but the tariffs are still in place.

My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards "Made in China" since January 19.

polestar sold much better before they moved production to china, which of course meant tariffs for EU buyers. also, polestar's cheapest option is like double the price of the cheapest tesla if i'm not mistaken.

Polestar is made in china, that's why.

Wait, polestar only now pulled ahead in Sweden? That's honestly kind if sad. If your home nation won't support you, how will anyone else. So yeah good, but this should have always been the trend.

Thats strange. I see Teslas everywhere, but never polestar. A lot of Volvos too.

lol no, but ironically making shitty, expensive cars is the least of Tesla's problems

Knowing humans, this is probably the best way to ensure someone goes experimenting like that.

Future people find warning signs and a sealed container. You think they would *not* open it just to sate their curiosity alone, and once they find human remains there… you know they are at most some hours away from inhaling the sweet air of experiments and discovery.

don't want anyone experimenting on his brain to bring him back

warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.

because you keep him on life support?

He gets taxed. Wouldn’t that be nice.

Even better

If he sells his shares, he gets money for them, right? They should be seized, and he should be put in a cell deep underground with those warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.

Do they magically start to make good and affordable cars then?

TESLA would have to fire Elon, force him to sell all his shares (ALL of them), and fire all Elon's family from the board so the public in general MAY start looking at tesla as a viable purchase again...

I like how Tesla thinks replacing their CEO is going to bring those sales back.

Happy to see that Polestar has overtaken Tesla in Sweden now. Hope it stays that way.

Impressive numbers with still some room for improvement. Thats how i like it.

The ongoing union ban on working with the notoriously anti-union company can’t have helped much either.

I’m surprised the shareholders aren’t considering suing him. He’s the CEO, and yet causing material harm to the company.

Keep it up Sweden

in a country that's among the top in the world for ev adoption, too.

Proud to be swede this morning. But it was really norway that was very into Teslas; how're they doing?
