Summary
Tesla’s sales in Europe collapsed in April, plunging over 50% in several countries despite an overall 23.9% rise in EU EV sales.
Sweden saw an 81% drop, the Netherlands 73.8%, and France 59%.
The refreshed Model Y failed to revive interest as buyers turned to alternatives, citing CEO Elon Musk’s controversies or superior competitors.
Tesla’s Q1 EU market share fell from 2.4% to 1.3%. Including the UK and EFTA, sales dropped 37.3%. Globally, 2024 was Tesla’s worst delivery year in two years, raising doubts about a near-term recovery.
Surely you could manage two middle fingers as long as you’re not in a sharp turn!
I am ashamed to say that, even after 15 years in cycling cities, I have never learnt to bike with hands on the handle.
I think it’s part of my personality: 20 years ago when I still drove a car I was fixed with my hands at 10 to 10 on the wheel and I approach every keyboard with my left hand in the WASD shape.
I’m not sure if you are a terrible driver and bad typer or great driver and good typer…
Ooops, it’s “without” hands on the handle.
And 10 past 10.
I am a late typer.
