Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 

A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle. It doesn’t bode well for the automaker, whose sales had already been falling off a cliff in the important European market.

In 2024, Tesla saw a 41% reduction in sales in Germany compared to 2023 despite EV sales surging 27% during the year.

This has already raised red flags about Tesla’s future in Germany, but it is nothing compared to Tesla’s performance so far in 2025.

Tesla’s sales were down 70% in the first two months of 2025, and again, that’s compared to its already poor performance in 2024.

Ah, but still same conclusion.

Then think again if your 5 million is 5 million 🙄

6 % of 80-something million is 5 million. The poll did not ask babies, they are already excluded there. The subset of the total population will then be smaller too, but really not much changes: A whole fucking lot would still but it. Millions. That is the big problem.

So are there arguments or what? You either elaborate now or do not reply.

If we assume that I am too stupid to get it, it would be an asshole move to treat me like that.

Are you a little bit slow? Because you certainly come across this way.

94% of Germans said that wouldn't buy Tesla.

You claimed it leaves 6 million who may potentially buy Tesla.

It doesn't as 6 millions include toddlers elderly, people without driving licence etc.

It is not that difficult, is it?
