Tesla Takedown UK

Liverpool and Manchester United complain to X over ‘sickening’ Grok AI posts AI feature generated offensive posts about Diogo Jota and the Hillsborough and Munich disasters

It's almost as though the person who owns Grok is some sort of psychopath Hell bent on causing harm....

Not sure if the photo and name of the writer on CarWow is real, or if it was actually written by AI. Either way, there seems to be such a push to inflate Teslas performance and stock price at the moment, despite the real fundamentals or declining sales and market share...

Panic perhaps?

...as they have such a limited range of models compared to other brands. For example, Audi outsold Tesla in Feb, but this was split across more different models than Tesla's sales were. So the model 3 sold more than any one audi model, but Audi sold more in total.

I think the way car wow presents the story is a bit misleading. Yes, the Model 3 was in the top 5 selling cars, but Teslas sales are still falling, and market share of evs is plummeting. If you look at the sales by brand in Feb it's clear how bad Tesla are doing. By model it looks less bad... cont..

It's a meme stock where the price has no basis on business fundamentals.

It's the modern day equivalent of the Dutch tulip mania.

Looking forward to watching the wannabe tech bros (incels) cry when the bubble bursts.

Sales down and market share tanking around the world.

New hyperlink (that hopefully works).

Also, the touch screens are particularly problematic for those countries that drive on the correct side of the road (left). We have to use our left hand to operate the screens, which for most people is the least dexterous.

Having to look away from the road in order to use a stupid swipe screen instead of some actual buttons is not good for safety.

No shit Sherlock!

Please see our other post on just ev numbers. Not a pretty picture for Tesla either.

What looks like a Tesla graveyard on the south coast of England. The patches of dead grass suggests that they were left there a long time before being moved on.

Sadly, it's no longer a British brand. The brand got bought by a Chinese company, so they own the rights to the badge and some of the older patents. Apparently, they are not bad cars, just not much about them that relate to classic MGs, except the badge...

Looks more like a Tesla graveyard near the port of Southampton (major car import/export point).

Some parts of the Ford Puma ev are built in Liverpool. Other parts in South East Europe too I think.

Zero. Same as Tesla

Check our other post on just EVs. Very bad picture for Tesla there too.

Not in February it seems..

Yep

Would rather be seen in a Robin Reliant than a Tesla any day of the week.

Is a cult [sic]

Speculative bubble fuelled by Elon's "Next year we will (enter latest fantasy here)", and many individual investors that are constantly posting nonsense headlines on social media about what a great investment $TSLA is, in order to inflate the stock?

🤷‍♂️

Time to burst that bubble

Same amount as Tesla did - zero?

They are already here and have been for a while. BYD's growth has been impressive, but also the acceleration in BEV sales by "legacy" European, Korean, and US brands is rapidly eroding Tesla's market share.

Great that Norway has almost eliminated new internal combustion engined cars, but frustrating they are still buying so many of these POS.

Still, it was more than 20% market share in 2025 for Tesla in Norway, so the current market share is a big drop.
