Tesla sales fell in the first three months of the year in another sign that Elon Musk’s once high-flying electric car company is struggling to attract buyers.
I assume that’s in the US only. The sames drop in Europe is far worse (40 to 80% depending on country) because they are less receptive to fascists than the US.
Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 globally in the January to March quarter. The figure was down from sales of 387,000 in the same period a year ago.
Emphasis: globally
Edit: also note, “Tesla reported”. I wouldn’t trust them to be giving accurate numbers, so it’s actually probably a lot worse.
They’ve gone up, but it looks like it might be to get ahead of the April tax on cars over £40k. We might see a reduction in sales April onwards, and as the article points out the sales increase is below that of other brands.
The Canadian “sales” where three Tesla dealerships each averaged one car sold for every single minute during a three-day weekend? No, that was totally legit.

There’s no way those numbers are real: https://apnews.com/article/tesla-sales-recall-trump-byd-b6f5da15be491d16e3020598e3ddf861
Canadian sales are fabricated and they are down in China too as BYD eat their lunch. Where else would the shortfall come from?
I thought I remember reading that UK numbers went up. But I wonder if that’s a situation like the Canadian “sales” they had recently…

Still not ideal though.

That would make more sense
