So far, Tesla has sold 1,306 units, which contrasts with the first two months of 2024, when it sold 1,704. This year, Tesla sold 398 fewer vehicles, according to NM.

This phenomenon can be explained by the decline in the automotive market in general, in Portugal, but also by the European context. Across the continent, Tesla sales have been declining. In the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Sweden or Denmark, the drop in sales is more than 40%.

Utter idiots !

It’s 90% due to the transfer from the old model Y to the new model Y

The fact is … when the factory gets up and running, it will be the world’s best selling car again ! (it takes time to reset for production of the new car )

It can also be explained by people not wanting to support Elon Musk.

There are a number of reasons including the new model and the fact that BYDs are better and cheaper but over-arching them all is the antipathy towards Musk. Red necked Americans may continue to support him but to the rest of the world he is a self aggrandising eccentric imposing his will via the odious Trump and Tesla shareholders as well as all those who depend on the company for their living should be up in arms at his antics.

This battery car marque, Tesla, implementing old technology has proven to be unreliable and loosing the trade-in value by most among the battery driven vehicles. - People are voting by their feet.

The SwastiKKKar is losing support around the world. Musk has shown his true fascist colors and his company is now paying the price.

The electric car market is still relatively young, I’m just waiting to see the ‘second hand’ market, let’s be honest who will buy a second hand electric car?….I’m afraid that current owners will lose a lot of money on trading in or are stuck with it until it dies.
