tesla's grip on the european ev market just took a serious hit. in january, the company sold only 9,900 units—a staggering 45% drop compared to the same time last year. its market share shrank from 1.8% to just 1%.
this decline comes as ceo elon musk doubles down on his controversial political stances in europe, including backing germany's far-right afd and clashing with the eu. meanwhile, overall ev sales in europe surged by 37%, with chinese automaker saic leading the charge.

i once considered buying a tesla until the u.s. elections made it painfully clear what kind of person elon musk really is. after seeing his behavior and the values he promotes, i couldn't justify supporting him. and i'm not alone. people around the world have been backing away from tesla, with some even going as far as setting their teslas on fire.
in germany alone, tesla sales have dropped by 75%. the company's stock has lost billions of dollars in value. and have you noticed that when you post something critical about tesla on twitter, the engagement seems to disappear? that's not a coincidence.
if you're thinking about buying a tesla, think twice. there are better alternatives out there from companies that don't come with this baggage. -
