Thats likely to swing upwards in June/July with the refreshed Model Y hitting the road.
And I’m getting downvoted … this sub is one hunk of misery. Although perhaps I like the misery.
What lunatics bought in Feb/March?
Who the hell is buying Teslas in 2025?
The volumes are so low it’s hard to make any behavioural predictions. A delay of a single shipment could have a big impact.
Be interesting to see how June 25 goes. I feel buying a new Tesla in June 25 is a lot more of a statement than buying one in June 24
More to the point, imagine buying a car that can’t drive itself.
The discussion around Tesla electric vehicles is too many people are discussion about Elon musk.
Purely off the electric vehicle angle, Tesla has the best and most established software but other cheaper mostly Chinese manufacturers are catching up quick.
Musk himself is like something of a Marmite character. Views earn him tend to be very polarised, with some people absolutely loving him and more absolutely hating him.
The biggest loser and electric vehicles is looking like it’s going to be the traditional German manufacturers. Their software just isn’t as good as Tesla and they are getting beaten on price by some of the Asian manufacturers.
This just shows normal delivery cycles. Cars come in, everyone who has ordered one gets it, few stock cars left and are gradually sold off. Then repeat the cycle.
BYD cars are far superior
Any data any available on all electric vehicle sales for the same time period ? You need to compare like with like to determine if this a Tesla issue or an electric vehicle
Issue.
Beautiful. Proud the Irish are doing what they can to fight facism.
The vast majority of people do not care or even follow US politics but those who do will see this as some victory for the boycott thing.
Tesla was always going to get more competition as more and more manufacturers made better EVs. Chinese EVs are also here now. I’m seeing more BYD cars around and they look fairly similar to Tesla for probably cheaper too.
Xpeng are being advertised on Irish tv too.
It’s a shame Elon is such a dick because the Model 3 is actually pretty good if you want an Ev.
Hard to read too much into that, because even though people don’t want to be associated with him, he’s no longer people’s only option for a good electric car
– Ireland’s favourite brands like Hyundai, Toyota and Volkswagen have now caught up with Tesla
– China has caught up with both Tesla and the European/Japanese/Korean brands. I’m seeing BYD/MG/Maxim all over the place and they’re not even here that long. Wait until they get bigger dealer networks and stuff.
The Tesla brand itself is extremely hard to detach from Musk. It’s nearly easier to detach John Delorean from Delorean cars because people just associate the car with back to the future now. People associate Tesla with MAGA, nazi salutes and ketamine infusions.
Why spend 60k on being associated with that when you can get the (extremely good) Chinese equivalent for half the price?
Just bought an EV this week from another maker at 0% financing and at 20% cheaper than the UK price. Also got the grants. Didn’t even consider a Tesla, as it was out of the question. Didn’t even look.
