A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The guy who sure made a big deal of "I don't care" during cancellations and "💩" for official comment requests, suddenly demanding empathy and getting the Republican caucus and media circuit to throw him a pity party is undoubtedly the "white persecution" he continues to push.
Who needs satire.
I keep seeing these numbers from Europe, but have yet to see North America numbers. I'm curious to see if sales are tanking in the US even harder.

It's down, but not like "crash and burn" down.
They haven't released earnings yet. Elon will likely use accounting fuckery to make it look better than it is, but I guarantee its not good.
I was referring to Tesla sales in the US, not just the stock price. I keep seeing how sales are down X% in Germany or Y% in the UK, but even during their last quarterly meeting, I don't recall hearing anything about their US numbers.
Your caredge article gives context for actual numbers rather then percent. Tesla sells between 110-170k per quarter in the US. It's down 11% in January in the US according to Business Insider. While still selling 35,000 more vehicles then Ford in that month.
Where as Germany sold 1,429 Tesla vehicles in February, Australia sold 1,592, and France 2,395.
So the scale of sales is vastly different. This is not to say it's not having an impact, but to dig into a percentage or statistics. (Mind you I wouldn't use percentage in this post, except I can't find the month on month numbers without paying for it, so I'll wait for it to come out in future reports.)
Thanks! Q4 numbers are a little down. I guess it'll be the Q1 numbers that should be the most interesting.
I'm curious, too. I just don't see a lot of right-wing voters buying Tesla to own the libs.
Especially with trump spewing at rallies about how shitty EVs are.
It’s because he is a Nazi. Nobody should support a Nazi.
I'm kinda on board for the arson as well. There are a lot of people who don't give a shit about who they support if they can get a car for cheap. But if that car brings the with it the risk of being set on fire or just generally vandalised then maybe that would make self serving cunts rethink their purchase as well.
Weird to say, but trash new teslas
Not just a Nazi, but a chickenshit Nazi.
If you're gonna be a Nazi, be one. Don't deny it after you're noticed.
This.
Wish the stock would crater. It seems to be bouncing back up atm.
People have disassociated the idea of buying stock as support for a company--they just treat it like a game. Not to mention all the amoral index fund managers who control most people's investments.
Yea the real issue is that it's in the indexes. Can't not buy it in that case.
This is unfortunately not an option for everyone, but personally this is what I'm doing to reduce my exposure to Tesla via index funds.
I'm transferring mine to a group of non-US-specific indexes. The world indexes unfortunately still hold some Tesla, but the emerging markets ones sure don't. In my previous retirement fund, a huge part was an S&P 500 index, but now there are no "US only" index funds. Also only one of the indexes is managed by a US company - previously there were a bunch of blackrock and vanguard funds in it. In case you're wondering why I said "I'm transferring" and not "I transferred", it's because I can't do it instantly. The application has been put in already though.
It's not a huge amount of money (5 digits, I'm young, have only been working decent jobs for the last 6 years) and I don't have full control of it since it's in a pension system where the laws specify how much diversity there has to be, what the max fees can be, etc, and local banks run different funds you can switch between. I'm just doing what I can.
As for investments outside of this system, I'm thinking of buying some of this new Europe defense index ETF in addition to other interesting European and potentially Emerging Markets ETFs I might find. I think betting on Europe getting its shit together is a smart choice because if we don't, we're fucked anyway and if we do, I might as well make a small profit off it.
I saw a clip from some TV station, with someone claiming people should buy Tesla now, because it will never get this cheap again.
And then he raved on about how Musk is a tech genius, who would make Tesla a robot/ai company.
Idiots like that cannot be helped. Even if Musk succeeds with AI which is unlikely, chances are slim that it will be Tesla that benefit from it. Robotaxi is not even close. And chances are that Musk ruined the chance for Tesla to actually compete on it, when he decided against using lidar.
Unless Tesla cook the books for Q1 2025, Tesla stock is likely to take another huge nosedive when the financial report comes out.
Sales have plummeted violently, so unless they book the cars on storage at unrealistically high values, the result for Q1 will probably be in the red.
You simply can't have a company that operates at less than 10% margin, lose almost half their revenue, while still having the cost of production capacity, without also having serious losses.
That wasn't an idiot, that dude was trying to dump while he could.
Let both sales and stock price crash into oblivion.
Fuck around, find out
I wonder if Tesla will be considered a good car brand in 100 years, like how Volkswagen is today.
I think it would require massive changes from the top down:
And so on…
I believe you missed the joke. He is referencing WW2 and the involvement of Volkswagen.
VW definitely fixed the first two points though and the other two don't apply.
Someone tell that to the stock price.
Hopefully it's a dead cat bounce. Falling shares often recover slightly, before continuing their fall. Only time (and action) will tell.
All the big money is getting out, or likely doing a brief pump while they’re shilling to all the redhat suckers to become future bag holders.
Check the 3 month view, it's down 41%. If anything the downward trend with a high daily volatility is demonstrating how poor the stock is doing
The 1Y is up, but a LOT of gains have been lost in the last month or two.
You rite
