    I like how Tesla thinks replacing their CEO is going to bring those sales back.

      TESLA would have to fire Elon, force him to sell all his shares (ALL of them), and fire all Elon’s family from the board so the public in general MAY start looking at tesla as a viable purchase again…

        If he sells his shares, he gets money for them, right? They should be seized, and he should be put in a cell deep underground with those warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.

          because you keep him on life support?

              Knowing humans, this is probably the best way to ensure someone goes experimenting like that.

              Future people find warning signs and a sealed container. You think they would not open it just to sate their curiosity alone, and once they find human remains there… you know they are at most some hours away from inhaling the sweet air of experiments and discovery.

    Happy to see that Polestar has overtaken Tesla in Sweden now. Hope it stays that way.

      Wait, polestar only now pulled ahead in Sweden? That’s honestly kind if sad. If your home nation won’t support you, how will anyone else. So yeah good, but this should have always been the trend.

        polestar sold much better before they moved production to china, which of course meant tariffs for EU buyers. also, polestar’s cheapest option is like double the price of the cheapest tesla if i’m not mistaken.

          My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards “Made in China” since January 19.

        Polestar is made in china, that’s why.

    The ongoing union ban on working with the notoriously anti-union company can’t have helped much either.

    I’m surprised the shareholders aren’t considering suing him. He’s the CEO, and yet causing material harm to the company.

          Tesla is not a Swedish company, so shareholders can not sue it in Sweden.

            Well, actually Tesla has a subsidiary which is a Swedish company. But the only shareholder of that company is probably the US parent.
            https://www.bolagsfakta.se/5569314098-TM/_Sweden/_AB
            TIL that Tesla Sverige shares its business address with Techem AB. I didn’t know that Techem is international. Thought they only existed here in Germany.

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They’re cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

  • on any topic: RT, news-pravda:com, GB News, Fox, Breitbart, Daily Caller, OAN, sociable:co, citjourno:com, brusselssignal:eu, europesays:com, geo-trends:eu, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
