#Tesla sales plummet across Europe, chart @markets

I'm a huge fan of #EVs. Own one & widely recommend them. I hope Tesla survives as an EV manufacturer, but reckon they need to completely split from Musk & his ketamine(?) fever dreams to do so.
I'm not anti most Tesla owners, especially those buying before the insanities.
Reasons I won't buy/recommend a Tesla:
*Musk
*[vapourware] no really, it's coming soon, we promise (again)
*Musk
*No model that suits my needs
*Musk
One change could fix 4 of those
Go fascist, go cashless!
Musk’s politics see Tesla sales collapse in Europe

Costa Rica, the land of “Pura Vida,” leads the Americas in EV (BEV) adoption for the 3rd year in a row! In 2024, 15.4% of new cars were fully electric—powered by an energy grid that’s 94.9% renewable. Who needs plug-in hybrids when your power is this clean?

Electric vehicles (EVs) have zero exhaust emissions, meaning they don't emit pollutants like CO₂, NOx, or engine particulate matter while driving but are not emission-free.
Battery production is energy-intensive and produces significant CO₂ emissions, especially if powered by fossil fuels.
Mining for lithium, cobalt, and nickel & other metals also causes environmental damage and emissions.
If the electricity used to charge the EV comes from fossil fuels, emissions are still created at the power plant.
EVs produce particulate pollution from brake and tyre wear, though regenerative braking can reduce this.
Are They Benign? Not entirely due to battery production and electricity sourcing issues. The environmental impact can be minimized by improving battery recycling, using clean energy, and responsible mining practices.
There. I've said it.
Despite stormy headwinds for the US auto industry, Rivian keeps prepping for an EV sales boom.

Do any #electricvehicles ( #EVs ) have isolated controls? That the Leaf CVEs were possible is ridiculous.
I want to buy an EV. I don't want to find out in 10 years that it doesn't get updates and some clown released a worm which pwns the steering.
Another month, another dark day for Tesla sales in Europe.
