Anyone buying a Tesla now has to be oblivious or a fanboy

It’s almost as if Musk is an incompetent idiot who doesn’t understand how a brand can be destroyed very quickly. The timing is exquisite, he’s driven Tesla into a ditch just as BEV sales are really taking off

I recall my father saying decades ago that from his experience companies should never get involved in politics: it would always end badly. (Even the chairman getting a knighthood, he said, was a bad sign; a car brand being dubbed "Swastikar" would have been a couple of orders of magnitude worse.)

Forget all the stuff about emissions and culture wars; the fact is that an EV is simply a better driving experience.

Effortless acceleration, regenerative braking, auto-handbrake, speed control, steering assist - the car drives itself.

This is what's odd. He obviously is aware of the decline in sales and and keeps with his behavior. Surprised his board of directors is not ousting him. He must be promised something big.

OUTSIDE the MAGA cult, Musk’s support for Alternative für Deutschland and his “Roman” salutes are not as popular as he seems to think it is …

He's been radicalised by his own social media platform and all the right wing bots.

Let’s hope the trend continues. I own an electric car but have always viewed Tesla cars as poorly made, unreliable and not worth the money. Now I have even more reason to think that anyone buying one is both mad and delusional if they think that supporting Musk is the right thing to do.

Unfortunately you have to factor in the usual slump in January sales for Tesla due to cheap deals at the end of the year. Hopefully the trend will continue into the Summer.

the comparison is Jan 2025 v Jan 2024

That’s encouraging. Thanks for that important information.
