    I Just checked their website, in my European country Tesla is doing a 4000€ promotion on all cars delivered before April, probably they need the line going up for continuing scamming the shareholders (stock is at 100x actual value)

    Europeans have turned against Elon. Time will tell if Canadians and Americans do the same.

        It helps a lot that we still have fairly unbiased mainstream news media sources, and solid institutions that are holding the foreign and oligarchy attempts at subverting them.

        But they are being eroded, over time, step by step. Bot/propaganda accounts in social media that normalize extremist views, corporate takeovers and acquisition of media, financing of political far-right parties, etc.

        Honestly the only possibility I see is if Trump/Musk fuck us over so badly that everyone realizes what’s going on and unite against it, kinda like Canada did when threatened by tariffs.

        Time will tell…

          Unfortunately, many people in Europe are still on Facebook and they’re being fed with Russian-backed propaganda.

          We’ve seen it during COVID, how many people thought that the vaccines were bad and dangerous? That’s because they’ve been reading misinformation on Facebook.

          We still have mainstream media sources, but we should tackle the problem before it’s too late.

    I wonder if it’s caused by the crap build quality, the price or the Muppet in charge. I suppose it could be the ongoing promises for level 5 autonomous driving that is always at least six months away and has been for years.

    Happy coincidence?

      I doubt that level5 autonomous driving is going to be approved by the EU in the foreseeable future.

    startin’ to think that tesla $tsla exists solely for the ‘co-president’ to pull wall street shenanigans. the board of any legit public company would be furious af at what he’s been up to lately and to the steep decline in share price the last couple months, particularly since 20 jan.

      Their CEO is basically president of the USA.

      Short term fluctuations don’t matter, they’re betting that in the long run they’ll be making massive profit on deregulation (lower labor costs, lower safety expenditure, fed gov “boost” programs, etc).
