Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.
It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.
Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.
Yeah, I think the union thing and the latest nazi salute form exactly the kind of combination Sweden won’t forgive easily. Tesla’s reputation is completely gone.
Did I miss something? He’s been throwing nazi salutes out this week also?
Just the same two he started with, but we don’t forget in Sweden.
Most people in Sweden appears to have forgotten what party Jimmie Åkesson joined, so I don’t know about that.
According to whom? None in my circle of people anyway.
I base that on election results and the current government
“Most people” in Sweden didn’t vote for SD…
That is true. Most people who did vote did vote for a coalition which openly stated that they’d work with SD, and have since then praised SD for things like “always been right when it comes to immigration”, as if they have all forgotten what party Jimmy Åkesson joined.
