Chinese have far better and cheaper EV cars. Getting spare parts for Tesla in Europe is a nightmare!
Other than that, I completely agree - and hope that Europe manufacturing can catch up to China on EVs.
FSD makes Tesla superior to any car out there. No other car comes even close. Although I heard that FSD was already crippled in eu so maybe they aren't missing out as much.
You can disagree without downvoting this, it's a reasonable take
Gee I wonder what could have caused this? I’m glad I was early to the party when we cancelled ours when Elon insinuated in a tweet there might be a valid reason for Nancy Pelosi’s husband to have been hit in the head with a hammer in his home. Every Tesla I see now all I see is a FascistMobile.

Even if this were true, I'd be willing to pay more to avoid financially supporting the CCP.
There are a lot of people in Europe that prefer CCP over what the republican party has become.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some level of EU-China rapprochement as a result.
I live in San Mateo County, CA and in my street 3 neighbors have sold their Teslas within the last 8 weeks and switched to other brands.
I’ll be selling our Tesla as soon as other brands have NACS. Specifically Rivian is what I’m looking for and have a preorder on an R2
I see this drop across Europe and Canada but the US is still alright. For some reason though, any negative news about Tesla doesn't reflect in the stock price. Wonder if the US market is propping it up, xAI nebulous or may be just musk's incessant tweeting.

> Most European EV sales that aren't Tesla are European brands like Bikes are still "vehicles". Problem is that stuff like Tesla are luxuries, we simply can not afford that! Bikes are an alternative on the same market. An alternative that is heavily advertised by our governments! If there is a significant difference between car and bike, you should tell our government! Not everyone has resources to treat their car as…
Absolutely, yet at the end of the day Electric Bikes are not treated as EVs in colloquial conversation and are not a direct substitute for a Car in most cases. And I'm sure yk this too.

Depends. Do they have the policies the voting public want? Humans will routinely overlook bad window dressing like prejudice and authoritarianism if they get some policies they like out of the deal. This has shown itself to be true over and over. If Dieter, 63, from some economically-disadvantaged part of Germany gets a promise to do something about "those people" coming and enjoying the German welfare state and to f…
This is a matter so serious to Germans that most Germans won't overlook it.
As recently as 2023 they were the second-strongest party in Germany according to the polls. [1]
Most Germans today only know of the horrors of Nazism from the history books. They have no real experience with it. There is nothing special about any particular nationality that makes them immune to the scourge of reanimated fascism. The Soviet Union bore horrible losses to the Nazis in WWII and the largest former SSR, Russia, is more-or-less a fascist state today. A salute isn't as alienating as "being left behind" by the world.

I see no reason for this to get flagged. Not every heated comment section deserves a flag, and no one is insulting each other. If it’s done by the mods, I think we deserve an explanation.

Probably the baity title was part of it. We've replaced that with the more neutral URL slug now. Edit: oh and yes, users flagged it. That's nearly always the case with submissions marked [flagged]. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html .
