    It’s crazy how Elon Musk is helping destroy America, yet Tesla is still doing way better in USA than in EU and China?
    Maybe because competition is lower in USA than in EU and China due to tariffs?

    For some reason I can’t find Tesla YOY numbers for February in the article? While in many articles they are found easily for EU and China, where it’s about 50% drop in sales, and even higher for market share.

    Allegedly Tesla sales in USA dropped 10-12% YOY in January for Tesla, and by the numbers from the article it seems like maybe 12-14% for February.

    Seems Americans don’t mind the swasticar so much?

        Yes that is still scary, and what’s even more scary is that from what I understand, his popularity is better than his first term!!??
        WTF America?

        I really feel for Americans that are sensible, it must be hell to live with so many people that support obvious dystopian trends we’ve been warned against since WW2.

          That’s the surprise we’ve got in many countries in the last decade or two. Turns out there’s a lot of people all around the “west” who want nazi and tribalist governments despite their history and identity being in plain sight.

        But there is a disconnect though as I didn’t think the average stereotypical republican was a fan of EVs or the climate or green tech. So a lot of people who didn’t vote for Trump must still be buying them.
