Imagine if Americans and the rest of the world started boycotting Amazon, Apple and all the other companies that have donated to 47’s election and are supporting him now. Money does talk. It would make a huge impact. Many of us Canadians are boycotting!
I did see a chart the other day detailing the losses made by the ones who donated to 47. I think that twonk was on -$29m (or billion possibly).
No idea how accurate but it was such a pretty picture.
I keep thinking about all the Tesla scenes in Leave the World Behind. I guess Obama really was trying to send a message: watch out for Elon and Teslas.
Can you provide details regarding this? Does the car somehow stop working if it cannot receive software updates, or was there a software bug that caused service issues?
The batteries catch fire and the doors sometimes refuse to open in an emergency. Anyone who gets into a Tesla might be getting into a steel coffin they can't leave. it's not a safe car. statistically less safe than the Ford Pinto
Oops yes. Defective. I recently read an NHTSA report describing a closed Tesla car door detaching as a woman was entering a freeway. With an infant in the car. Other Teslas have doors that won’t open after a crash. Others self ignite. Unsafe.
The great part about this is that the onboard cameras activate whenever someone approaches the car, which means you can drain their batteries just by standing close to them. 😄
Fwiw you're talking about Sentry Mode, which is always on once it's turned on. Unfortunately triggering the cameras will just put you on camera, saved on the car's internal drive, and sent back to HQ. There's no actual gain there, and just puts you at risk if you wanna f with Teslas, unfortunately 😕
Surely the other 6% have either lived under a rock for a long time (higly unlikely), won't be caught dead on an EV (Llikely) or are members of AfD (most likely)
My mother in law survived Hitlers occupation of Austria in WW2. The atrocities committed by the Nazis were horrendous. Stay STRONG my European friends.
I too will stand up to bring the REAL AMERICA back.
Hopefully THESE MAGGOTS will soon see they fell victim to a
ORANGE CONMAN!!! I am an ALLIE.
Here in Cologne is fairly normal that if a building site goes a couple meters underground, you will probably either find a bomb or something from Roman times lol
Only liberals bought them, they now loathe him and Germans,unlike the US I think, have access to many cheaper, better electric cars. Not surprising really....
They bought them not for Musk but for the climate. Nobody knew he was such a racist asshole. And it's come to be quit a shocker that he too is an idiot.
Germany survived Hitler thanks to THE US and the Allies.
The Germany people survived a insane DICTATOR and will resist another Nazi? Stay strong EUROPE!!!
Hey, I want that too.
They're all non-arctic southerner pillocks, so we should get to enjoy watching them fry in exchange for having to shovel snow six months of the year.
RESIST. Tesla sales are plummeting. We need to continue the boycotts on billionaires and we cannot let up. The power of the people can overcome oligarchy and fascism. Even without an election we vote with every dollar we choose to spend or withhold. Keep applying political pressures however you can.
Not really. Before you even had the Nazi, it was a rolling piece of crap. I don't know about you but I'm not about to drive around in the car that will lock the doors down on me when it catches on fire. How did he die? He bought a Tesla.
Hope it closes. I hate for folks to lose jobs but they will move on eventually and hey, why should we be the only ones suffering from job losses due to that chainsaw wielding piece of shit lunatic? I really do have sympathy for job losses though.
Consider that Alameda County (where the Fremont factory is) is the 2nd bluest county in California and that Travis County (where the Texas factory is) is the bluest county in Texas
Nazis/fascists aren't going to be the ones getting hurt if it completely fails
I never would or would have. I'd get a RAV4 hybrid, if I could afford it. It's too cold around here to rely on just a battery to heat the cab, plus recharging stations aren't ubiquitous yet.
Don't just boycott. Get on the phone, get on e-mail and tell your reps in DC what you think about Musk. Resist. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. https://www.nationalfinancialplan.com
Not enough, they still have the ADF as their fascist party. But at least most of them even seem to be aware it's a terrible idea to openly seig heil and want to distance themselves from Edolf Muskler here.
The first time reading I misunderstood the "them" to be ADF because that's what was previously stated. It makes sense upon a second read that "them" could also mean Germans. Thanks . That makes a lot more sense.
In Brasil we don’t even sell this shit LOL you have to import and the price is so bizarre that normal people who wants an electric car buys BYD from our BRICS’s best friend 🇧🇷🇨🇳
That is because Germany said that the Nazi regime will never happen again, and they fucking mean it. As soon as Muskrat did the Nazi salute, it was done. They will never back down. They keep the horror of World War 2 alive, so we NEVER go back.
oh I'm sure, and in the rest of the wiki article they have another graph of EV ownership per capita per country and Norway's at the top and Germany is closer to the US, there aren't as many EVs per citizen
The Germans knew what he was doing. Too bad too many Americans are saying that’s not what he was doing. None of the senators called out what he was doing. Allan Dershowitz didn’t call it out.
The American far right believes that Hitler killed all the right people... 6 decades of cutting education funding are having the desired effects... 80 million morons with 2 digit IQs that ate paste and crayons through elementary school and flunked out of high school...
It actually might. His empire is welded together by shoddy business and personal loans. Tesla stock drops enough, the banks call in his loans and then Twitter is done. Elon has to sell more stock just to keep up his own personal fortune (since he mainly lives off of credit). We aren’t there yet
Perhaps. But two explosions in a row that dropped tons of flaming debris and one at least that caused a dozen airlines to reroute planes away from his shooting stars doesn't instill confidence in SpaceX either.
He might leave one burning ship and jump onto another.
No it's normal, he did a Nazi salute in a very clear unmistakable way in a speech using the same seemingly harmless but in context of Nazis not harmless language the Nazis tightly associated with the Nazi salute. 1/3
Tesla cars are only affordable by wealthy people, nearly all wealthy and rich people in Germany are very anti Neo Nazi/anti-fascism even the conservative ones. Most neo nazis and fascists in Germany are financially struggling. 2/3
Even financially well of German fascist would not buy a Tesla, they are proud of Germany so obviously they would buy a German car.
And with things currently stand if they where in power they probably would mess up e-cars to a point Tesla can't operate profitable here, this might change tho.
electric cars will always be a POS in my eyes . thats why I would drive volkswagen before tesla .
the beetle bugs have a pull cord to manual start engine in case battery dies or starter fails !
And is literally falling apart because the glue (😂😂😂😂😳) they use to hold their cars together doesn’t like cold weather.
😂😂😂😂😂
Glue. Holding their $80,000 cars together.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
But does exactly nothing to hurt Musk. He owns 12.5%. As usual, only wage-earners in the factory will feel it. No one will be lifted from poverty. Zero immigrants will eat.
Elon is worth about 342 billion dollars (according to google on 3/9) of which about 105 billion is Tesla stock. He’d still be a billionaire but if he wasn’t worried about it, why was did he have his carnival barker shill for him which on the Capitol’s grounds is against the Hatch Act?
Well, I have a conscience so maybe I'm more sensitive to Nazi inspired rhetoric. Oh, and if I had worked for Tesla, as soon I witnessed Musk's Nazi salute, they would have received my resignation letter the following day...
I'd just like to point out that Hitler rose to power in 1930's Germany partly because many decent, law-abiding Germans sat on their hands, desperately hoping that it would all go away in the morning, and we know what happened after that...
hey this is not actually true. elon musk's net worth is primarily in tesla and spacex. if they lose money he begins to be unable to pay back the debt he owes.
Elon Musk's timing could not have been worse....giving a Nazi salute at the same time China are flooding the market with cheaper, more reliable EVs....I guess ketamin takes your eye off the ball?
I don’t imagine it will unravel in Germany. Volkswagen is hurting (though they have a range of good evs) and Musk is a Nazi so buying a Tesla there today would be a faux pas to say the least.
that's good news-car is overvalued and overpriced anyway-musk has plenty of money invested all over the world-he won't suffer from the loss-he still will live lavishly & without meaning-what a waste of talent-he fell into the dark hole-sold his soul to the devil
This is how you respond to the beginnings of facism. Soon we will be going medieval on their asses, but for now hitting them in their wallets is a good enough sign that facists can Fuck right Off
I am a teacher in germany and I would not applaud our education System. There is a lot to do ... but we at least try to educate them about our history. (But 20% voted for the right winged AFD ... So who knows how that will work out ...)
Just like everywhere else, it's an education and informartion issue. Polls show that a large number of heir voters think AfD is center, center right at most. They continuously lie about their program, even when confronted head on with printed out copies. It's propaganda and it's working.
Nobody’s gonna buy that piece of shit car in the United States either it’s a piece of shit and it’s ugly and Elon Musk is Adolf Hitler. We saw him salute uncle Adolf that fuck we want him outta here.
And as Canadians we know Canadian, British and US history but not enough African and First Nations history. Americans don't really know any other histories except their own if that. That's why they are doomed to make this mistake.
Good! He came over here telling people to vote for thr Nzi party while at the same time working against the safety of Ukraine and wider Europe. No one over here should be supporting that menace.
I think it's the same in most of Europe. UK is the only one bucking the trend, but then my people voted for Brexit and put the Tories in power for 13 years so I've got very low expectations.
I never lived in Germany proper, But I never lived more than maybe ninety minutes from the German border, I visited Germany many times, and have a bunch of German friends I talk to like once a week. 90%+ agreement on anything in politics is just generaly suspicious not just in Germany.
I understand the scepticism.
I think the numbers have been explained satisfactorily by others, the main point being that there is almost NO crossover whatsoever between nazis and EV buyers.
As a German, I can assure you that this is true. Raising your right arm in public is still a no-go here and a criminal offense. In addition, electric car buyers tend to be progressive, liberal-minded individuals. This is the demographic that least tolerates Nazis.
I lived in Munich for several years, and it seemed to me that Germans were far less divided than Americans. All things Nazi were pretty much illegal when I was there.
Elon has absolutely alienated the EV buyer with his nasty beliefs and hateful political agenda.
An online survey of more than 100,000 respondents produced a surprising result: 94 percent of participants stated that they would not consider purchasing a Tesla vehicle. However, the survey does not claim to be representative.
Well, it seems that I might have to eat my own words even a bit more, as it seems thatsomeone actively tried to switch the result of the poll in a drastically different direction. The poll is now at 70% pro, but 250'00 votes came from only two IPs.
Yes, I know. The survey isn't representative, but it's still quite large. It reflects the mood I'm also perceiving here in Europe. Driving a Tesla is embarrassing these days.
And this is why the US is so crazy. When you apply for a green card there are questions like do you belong to the communist party or the Nazi party. People holding green cards know they cannot and will not go there to stay in the US yet their home grown idiots can.
The average gross monthly salary is €4,105, but due to unequal distribution, about 20% are higher. With approximately 45 million employed people, that's still 9 million, and the leasing rate for a Model 3 is €415 per month.
Ok...you are right.
There are more than 10% germans that could theorically buy a car that costs 10% of their income as investment (and another 5% in use costs) and that is not suitable for long holidays.
I am in the happy small percentage that could barely afford it, but I happily never owned a car in my whole life (once my girlfriend had one and I contributed to the cost) and never even considered spending the price of a countryside home for a car.
🙂
Yes. I see them all as bicycle fans in a country of bicycle lanes but the old status symbol still survives.
It's a projection perhaps.
I can't conceive spending 100.000€ for a car even having more than that in my bank account 🚴
I thought only Italians prisoners of their latin macho culture still did that 🤭
I am perhaps an old fashioned boomer but if I would buy a car making a loan I would try to pay it in less than 4-5 years and probably remaining under 30000-35000€ total.
You're not old fashioned just reasonable. It's completely useless to buy a huge new car that loses half of it's value during the first year. It's completely for showing off how much money you can waste.

Masterful gambit, Sir!
I think America can match their 94% & even do a bit better!
What do you say?
German Nazis are just still really into internal combustion.
They're all non-arctic southerner pillocks, so we should get to enjoy watching them fry in exchange for having to shovel snow six months of the year.
Germany better figure out how to fix that or they will continue to have kraut magas

I love this
“The german people remember that very bad people exist.”
Tesla will continue to BORROW from banks, underwritten by the current U.S. government.
It's not Elon's problem when the banks collapse while servicing bad loans.
SUCKERS everyone cheering Tesla's collapse. Elon could care less. 😉
But Elon will get margin called
As stocks and Tesla sinks Trump is enjoying pulling the wings off of Elon, Bezos and Zuckerberg.
Oh yeah…that.

Being stupid is one hell of a way to live, all Adolf accomplished was generations worth of shame and embarrassment.

The discharge of this hate and consequence will ONLY hit wage workers and their families.

But I like how it is going so far.

And they don't like it.
