KEY POINTS
New European car registrations of Tesla vehicles totaled 8,837 in July, down 40% year-on-year, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, or ACEA.
BYD recorded 13,503 new registrations in July, up 225% annually.
Elon Musk’s automaker faces a number of challenges in Europe, including intense ongoing competition and reputational damage to the brand.
Tesla also makes inferior cars. Tesla also has a big unneeded tv in the car. Tesla car is a kind of an early access with their bugfix patching. Teslas’ main product is also your data.
Tesla cars were a very good prospect until pretty much this year. Most people are fine with everything being on a big dumb screen instead of having proper buttons (even though it’s a usability and safety nightmare) and once you get past that, they’re comfortable and practical - and well-priced compared to the non-Chinese competition.
But now, Elon outed himself as an actual Nazi, and took away proper indicators and gear selectors.
Comfortable is subjective. Model Y suspension was certainly crashy when I rented one for half an hour for the lulz
now everyones reporting issues with the regular cars to, that they dint do it for years?
What do you mean?
I used to think the same, before I bought a (non-Tesla) EV myself. It’s very convenient to have some entertainment other than your phone during charging stops.
The problem is actuarial data that shows Teslas have more frontal collisions which is because of the screen which is on track to being banned in EU. The second problem is the brittle cast aluminum frame shit out of Giga presses that makes most collisions a right off. Hence very high insurance costs on the Teslur.
musk, eliminated QC, because it was preventing him from selling them quickly, and its too expensive to add in quality materials.
it is one of the reasons he doesnt use LIDAR in the newer models? waymo is already way ahead of tesla robotaxis, eventhough its still limited right now, musk was too late to the game. although he couldve used this to slow down the pump and dump scheme thats going on.
Also, the big screen is very well designed in a Tesla. It’s difficult to move to inferior UX models like pretty much every other car is after experiencing it. I’ve practically never used it for “entertainment”.
You can have a big screen in your car and physical buttons to control things, also anyone can carry a tablet in their car for entertainment as well
Ehh, have you ever seen a BYD? All their models are essentially “Tesla but more obnoxious”.
I did not. Not the cockpit. I’m sure it’s bad as well. For me any touch control in the car is bad news.
And with a virtual assistant.
