Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.

It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.

Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.

    The story of Elon will be a phenomenal one. Icarus af. He could have ended world hunger and much more, but decided to become a nazi cunt and ruin everything. Money can’t buy intelligence.

      To become a billionaire you have to be a piece of shit human being. No billionaire is ever going to solve world anything, because again… They are trash human beings.

        There are two reasonably good ones, as far as I know - Gabe Newell and Bill Gates.

        The rest though… yeah.
        The world would be a very different place if every billionaire was anything like those two.

          I’d recommend listening to the Behind the Bastards episode on Bill Gates if you think he’s a good person.

          Gates became a billionare by being a trash human being, then probably decided he didn’t want that to be his legacy so he started being somewhat less of one. He’s doing significantly better than most, but still probably a net negative.
