I love this.
In the UK, which surpassed Germany last year as the top EV market in the region, Tesla’s registrations are up 11% through the first two months, after a big gain in February.
they really want to get rid of the title of European country /s
Yeah, sorry guys. We’re like the weird cousin who turns up to family meetings, says some dumb shit, and creeps everyone out a little bit.
I think it’s probably just a glitch, but I’ve wondered about the sort of people buying Tesla’s in the UK for a while. So many better options available now, and the supercharger network is tiny in comparison to others.
My brother in law is slightly left-of-centre leaning but he said he’d still buy a Tesla because he thinks the supercharger network is still a game-changer. If he did get one I might find the occasional opportunity to draw a dick and balls on it when it gets dirty, But he currently drives a 12-year old Toyota Corolla so I don’t see him stumping up the cash for a Tesla any time soon.
As an EV driver I’ll happily tell him he’s wrong about the supercharger network being a game changer. Tesla are just 12.3% of the high power chargers in the UK. It’s not an insignificant number, but if I can only use the other 87.7% of chargers I’ll survive.

It’s a very different situation in the US. There the supercharger network has been the only one that enabled long distance travel, although that’s starting to change.
Tesla’s showing was in stark contrast with overall electric vehicle registrations, which jumped 31% in February.
A clear message.
He should’ve done his research. The AfD nazis he endorsed believe climate change is a hoax and hate e-cars, and everyone who does buy e-cars hates nazis.

Brexit bros at it again.
Ironic we are sharing a microsoft link for a news article in a community to boycott unethical US corpos.
But yes, this is good news!
I get why people bought Teslas when there was no alternative. but nowadays they are so bad in so many ways, it makes no sense. they cut corners everywhere and don’t even pass the savings on to consumers. just give me a normal dashboard and manual controls ffs
also recently heard that Tesla owners are the most indebted owners. so kind of speaks to the fact that it’s a completely irrational purchase.
Tesla’s “build my car” in some regions at least assumes you want to see the price after theoretical fuel savings. Which, of course, is a savings dramatically in their favour. Might be a factor in the indebtedness.
plus the fact tesla cars are so badly put together
I wouldn’t argue with quality. The quality isn’t that bad and even if it was, that’s something they might improve in the future. You shouldn’t buy one of these cars because you’re straight forward supporting an insane fascist.
They are built like a Lada at the proce point of a BMW. And future build quality means nothing when it comes down to the car you bought today.
