Sales tank as investors get ready to decide whether to make Musk a trillionaire.
Tesla’s shareholders are ready to vote tomorrow on whether to give Elon Musk an even more vast slice of the company in an effort to keep him focused on selling electric vehicles. Currently, the trolling tycoon appears a little obsessed with the UK, a place he appears to conflate with Middle Earth, which investors may or may not take into account when making their decision. What they ought to take into account is how many cars Tesla sold last month.
Although Tesla only publishes quarterly sales figures and does not divide those up by region, slightly more granular data is available from some countries via monthly new car registrations. And the numbers for October, when compared year on year to the same month in 2024, should be alarming.
Idk what it is about Teslas but they have the absolute WORST drivers. Honestly they give BMWs a run for their money.
Bmw drivers may drove fast and reckless, but at least they are actually holding the steering wheel and looking at the road most of the time. Tesla drivers aren’t even that they just sit there and scroll on their phones. Drives me nuts I’ve laid on the horn next to people watching TV and got a dirty look and a bird followed by continuing their film. They get a nice test of the auto braking on occasion.
