Tesla’s vehicle sales rose 77 percent from January through May compared with a year earlier, the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said this week. In May, Tesla sold 22,000 cars in Europe. That’s more than Ford, Nissan or Honda, even when including their fossil-fuel models.
Many people seem to have put aside their personal feelings about Mr. Musk after Tesla cut prices for its entry-level models to levels that are competitive with comparable gasoline or diesel vehicles and inexpensive cars from China. In some countries, Tesla’s Model Y sport utility vehicles can be leased for less than 300 euros, or about $340, a month.
“Once you go down the pricing scale, people pay less attention to ethics or morality,” said Matthias Schmidt, an independent analyst in Berlin who tracks electric vehicles sales. “Tesla’s product has become so appealing from a price perspective, it’s almost too good to refuse.”
As always, people have short memories, or just do not give a shit about ethics

As the old saying goes…“Ethics are a luxury that poor people can’t afford.”
But they can afford a Tesla
If your neighbor has an EV and you don’t, suddenly you’ve decided that you’re poor
Damn I must be living in squalor. I don’t even own a car! 🫠
Have you considered financing a Tesla???
Not owning a car is the true richness… At least of the heart. Lol
I remember Tesla sales dropping after this
so I hoped people are still capable of using ethics when making financial decisions but it looks like I was wrong.
