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.
Lol see you get it, just with one vehicle. Now do the others. They are trash cars. Literally spyware on wheels and if he ever did push an ai driving mode they would be remote controlled bombs.
It’s also insane that Elon thinks he’s worth a fucking trillion dollars for this effort too.
We need privacy laws that stop the data collection and all camera data should be stored locally unless opted in. That goes for the whole damn industry though. Tesla may be the first/worst, but it’s all garbage.
What’s annoying is that I like the batteries, charging management and motors in Teslas. I’d love to get my hands on a gutted car and convert a few classic vehicles to EV. That’s really the thing Tesla has given the car community. N
