To be fair a lot of the world simply has better options for electric. Plus the not giving the biggest wanker more money, part.

Tesla had seen sales rise in a number of European markets in September, after falling for most of this year due to increasing competition to its ageing lineup from newer EV models.

Ah yes because of checks notes “increasing competition to its ageing lineup” yes yes. No other reasons.

In Spain you can buy a BYD seagull for around 10.000€, with proper switches and stalks. A Hyundai for about 13.000. A really cool Renault 5 for about 20.000, if you want to buy European.

Granted, these are minis, but they are really adapted to much of Europe.

The cheapest Tesla is about 40.000, and arguably older tech.

Tesla has gone from innovator to legacy.

Musk is a moron AND his cars have terrible quality control. Winning combination!
