Tesla sales are down. What a surprise...
I have never been a fan of Teslas. I am a fan of EVs, however, and there is just a lot of quality vehicles out there and most of them have a dashboard, which IMHO should be a requirement, as well as normal placement of things like turn signal controls and window wiper controls.
I know some of you just dislike cars in general and I respect that. I love walking and biking as well, but sometimes I need to drive and then I prefer EVs.

What's the difference between a campfire and a #Tesla? One is carefully contained, and the other might roast your marshmallows from the parking lot.
Grist: What Tesla’s massive image problem means for the world’s transition to EVs
Tesla has long been a leader in the electric vehicles market. Now it's facing mounting protests and plummeting sales.
"...Tesla’s status as the Kleenex of EVs is now in question. After Musk’s full-throated endorsement of President Donald Trump, his Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration, and his efforts to dismantle the United States government under the auspices of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, Tesla is facing an organized protest movement, fading sales around the world, and a tumbling stock market valuation. ..."

Marktbericht: Gebannter Blick nach Washington
Während sich an der Wall Street leise Hoffnung regt, bangen die europäischen Anleger vor der drohenden Eskalation des Handelsstreits mit den USA. Am späten Abend wird es mehr Klarheit geben.
tagesschau.de · Marktbericht: Gebannter Blick nach Washington
L'imminente ritiro di #Musk, arriva mentre alcuni insider dell'amministrazione #Trump e molti alleati esterni sono diventati frustrati dalla sua imprevedibilità e vedono sempre più il miliardario come un peso politico, come suggerisce la sconfitta di un giudice conservatore sostenuto a gran voce dal patron di #Tesla, che ha perso la sua candidatura per un seggio alla Corte Suprema del Wisconsin per 10 punti.

Die in a fire, Tesla.
So #Tesla stock is rising based on reports Musk could come back to being more of a full-time CEO later this spring -- having, I suppose, displayed his strategic genius in #Wisconsin. #Swasticar fanboys truly have no clue.

It may be true that tariffs will improve the competitiveness of #tesla pricing, but even if someone gave me one for free, I would drive it to a safe public place and invite people to destroy it — on video of course.
Bottom line: Tesla-hate and sales drop aren’t about price.

Many analysts believe that Tesla stock is grossly overvalued - it’s PE ratio is much higher than any other automaker. Meaning, $TSLA is a meme stock with its value directly linked to belief in Musk as a genius. If he is kicked out…stock goes way down. If he stays, looks like the same. Maybe there is a god. 
"Much of Musk’s wealth is tied to his Tesla stock, as I understand it. Kicking him out of Tesla doesn’t take away his stock.”

@nonproductive @GottaLaff A forensic accountant would be the best kind of person to determine what is what in terms of the #elonmusk financial situation, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, so I'll throw in my .02.
If E-loon did what many rich folk do and borrowed against his #tesla shares to avoid taxes (and to finance Shitter purchase), one ofthe best things that could happen would be for Tesla stock to drop in value. If it went low enough in value, the pasty bastard would have to either pour more money in to cover margins or lose the stock. While that might not bankrupt him outright, it would reduce his power and influence and force his attention elsewhere.
Then maybe he could get deported to his country of origin.
#Tesla Q1 sales "a disaster on every metric." How's your week going, Elon?

Yahoo Finance · Tesla stock pops after report Musk will step back from government role 'in the coming weeks'
Trump has told his inner circle, including members of his Cabinet, that Elon Musk will be stepping back in the coming weeks from his current role as governing partner, ubiquitous cheerleader and Washington hatchet man.
Musk’s looming retreat comes as some Trump administration insiders and many outside allies have become frustrated with his unpredictability and increasingly view the billionaire as a political liability.

The board of directors of has asked Elon Musk to step down as CEO.
This article details some of the reasons why, in terms that start off sounding normal and then ramp up to describe Musk's absurdity over the past few years (but still stop short of using the word "fascism", which means they're still understating the case).
A normal CEO would comply. I'm betting Musk will dig in his heels and make this ugly.

@GottaLaff Here's a handy chart of March and Q1 #Tesla sales in the EU.
Tesla: Absatz sinkt weltweit deutlich
Der E-Auto Hersteller Tesla hat seit Anfang des Jahres weltweit deutlich weniger Autos ausgeliefert. Grund dafür könnte eine veraltete Flotte sein - und Elon Musks Engagement in der Politik.
