Who the fuck is still buying Teslas?!
Apparently 48% less people compared to 2024. Which kinda nice, but still too high.
I know, baby steps! Definitely better than nothing
0.6% of the market, so 1 in 165 cars or so. Still way too many, for sure.
Fascists, idiots, and fascist idiots.
It is really intressting that the Chinese seem to replace the Americans and Japnese, but not the European manufacturers.
US cars never had significant marketshare anyways. Japanese did, and do

That btw used to be much larger. Opel, which was owned by GM for ages, was competing for the number one position in Germany for decades. Similar story for Vauxhall in the UK. Ford was also a pretty decent for a long time.
Oh, right. I didn’t count Opel and Ford as US cars because those sold here were designed, engineered and produced in Europe. But you’re right, their owners are from the US.
That’s really interesting - there is a lot of talk in Germany currently about the crisis in the car industry. And if you take a look, the big german manufacturers like VW, BMW and Mercedes are selling more cars than last year with a bigger market share.
They lost the chinese market to cheaper EVs. It was one of their biggest markets and also the US tarrifs.
Aaaand they also love to complain… always…
The German car industry is transitioning from ICE to EV and that means building up factories for EVs hiring a lot of people and then firing the ICE workers, when those car sales are going down. That is what is happening right now. They just cry for subsidies and obviously the oil industry is pissed off as well.
Apart from all the obvious talk, I also wanna congratulate Jaguar on their genius marketing and distribution strategy and it’s impacts again lmao
It looks like the economy is still ticking along, if people are still taking out new cars.
