Tesla was proudly proclaiming less than a year ago that it would be selling 20 million electric vehicles annually by 2030. Fast forward to today, and things have taken a sharp downturn. After seemingly abandoning this lofty goal mid-2024, the company has also seen its first annual sales decline in a decade. Now, Tesla’s sales are continuing to slide in several major markets, including Germany, Australia, and, of course, China.

Australian here.. I saw a Tesla the other day and the owner had put a sign in the window that driving a Tesla wasn't supporting the CEO

Over the years I’ve seen more getting around and Melon has flipped their reputation from “oh, cool a Tesla” to “poor bugger probably didn’t realise they were supporting fascism when they bought it”.

A colleague at work has one, and they were discussing the acceleration and what not. I chimed in with "Oh, you own a swasticar?".

His face did this thing where it almost looked like it was melting, and he said "well at least it saved me some money on gas" and we moved to a different topic.

That was quite satisfying...
