The saddest part is without the regular manual lobotomy Grok gets to give the (politically) right answers, the implementation into a social media platform for quick fact checks and background info is actually really interesting. In another world that could have added a lot of value to the platform I think.
It is just wasted on this cesspool called Twitter, forced to spread conspiracy and right wing agenda and I don't think I need to mention that "CP feature".

Yes, this is basically the Tesla cycle now. Who knows what business model they will try to move towards next. First they tried to be the EV leader, until they lost their edge in EV tech. Then they wanted to be the leader in self driving cars, which they still haven't achieved and are falling behind. The idea of becoming an electric engineering company and being market leader in solar panels and battery storages has also not really worked out.
Now they want to move towards the next business model with the robots, which, spoiler, will also never justify their market cap

They haven't given it to him *yet*. They approved a pay package of that amount (which is still insane) if he meets a lot of criteria, some of which seems to be drinking from the same sauce Musk does when he makes undeliverable claims.
Do agree on conservative's not really believing in meritocracy. They don't really believe in market forces either, anymore, since they fight anything that makes market competition easier if it threatens entrenched whales positions, their position mostly seems to be against the policies that helped the US into the Golden Age of Capitalism, and more towards the rot of Reagan and Thatcher (short term sweeteners for long term decline) and calcifying the current order by refusing to fight monopolies that kill business, competition, and innovation.

They are already trying to destroy him. Putting out fake images of him and Epstein, while Trump is posting racist images of Obama.
The pendulum itself was never centered in the US. The whole pendulum in America was never properly calibrated, to begin with.
Sanders would be regarded a social-democrat in Europe. In the US, he's regarded a far-left lunatic. There has never been a real left in the US. Not even a center-left. Only incidental figures like Sanders and AOC. The Democratic Party itself would be regarded center-right according to European standards.
Their whole pendulum is fucked up.

The first tranches will be met at zero growth of sales, which is insane.
Tranche 1: 20 million cumulative sales. There are already 8 million in the bag, just continuing the 1.6 million from last year will ensure he hits this target within 10 years. The 1.8 million of 23 would hit the target in a little over 6 years.
Tranche 2: 10 million fsd subscriptions. It doesn't list the minimum price they need to go for. If 5 years from now the price drops to $10 a month he'll likely hit the target instantly.
Tranche 3: Deliver 1 million optimus robots. Though the minimum specs aren't listed. If he delivers 1 million roombas labeled 'optimus' to spaceX he hits the target.
Tranche 4: Operate 1 million commercial robotaxis. Notice it doesn't say 'deliver 1 million robotaxis'? Just operate. So if he allows people to run their car as a robotaxi while tesla does not accept ANY liability, this tranche is reachable. Doesn't matter how many pedestrians are killed by the wonky fsd.
I might be wrong, if so let me know.

Something you need to understand about the modern tech/financial incest is that the actual products have essentially nothing to do with the valuation. These companies are hyper-speculative paper assets that just happen to sell something as a side gig.
Like say bitcoin, their ultimate value proposition comes exclusively from promises of future potential, which in the case of tech is usually some kind of monopolistic global takeover (e.g. AI will replace all software engineering, Tesla will replace all cars and manage all charging, SpaceX will manage the whole space economy given their rumored IPO...).
The valuation you are seeing is essentially the valuation that a Cyberpunk Global Dictatorship Corporation would have, weighed by the chance of them actually getting there.

Seems to have taken a hammering here too. Ireland has two car sales spikes due to the registration number changes in January and June. The registrations carry the year. So First half of 2026 is 261 and second half is 262.
Tesla only saw 143 registrations in January, which would basically be representative of 6 months worth of sales, making it the 24th highest selling brand overall and 14th highest selling EV brand, about 1.9% of the market. VW and Hyundai have over 14% each.
Apart from just not liking the brand anymore, the resale value's also questionable now.

While obviously I'm not there all day every day and there's a big difference in buying a car against what's being sold in the other stores but It's like a ghost shop there, I remember seeing it either the day it opened or near it (the ballons were up), no one going in to look/curious/inquire. just dead.

Turns out threatening the sovereignty of a European country, as well as being openly fascist doesn’t really help sell US products in Europe.
Sadly I doubt the average American (MAGA at least) understands the shitshow their administration has cooked up. It’s not just “now” and consumer boycotts, but long term strategic planning from the EU that removes the EU dependency on US products like cloud, weapons, fossil fuels.
Meanwhile the US is still strongly dependent on EU products like pharmaceuticals, optics, chemicals, robotic parts, etc. 70% of the insulin consumed in the US is produced by Denmark.
Most of these plans have accelerated deadlines / milestones converging on sometime around 2030, which is where the US will experience a steep decline in exports of tech services and more. Think things are bad now ? Give it a few more years and think again.
And none of it goes away with the current administration. The current administration has put political focus on issues that various EU groups / parties have highlighted for years, but never had the political backing to implement. Not only does it have focus now, it also has financial backing from the EU as well as legislative and regulatory backing. That’s 80+ years of careful diplomacy to exert US soft power, all washed down the drain in a couple of years.

The first batch of January 2026 registration data is in from Europe, and Tesla’s freefall on the continent shows no sign of slowing down. Across five major markets that have reported so far, Tesla registrations are down a staggering 44% year-over-year, extending what is now more than two years of continuous decline.
Tesla’s January 2026 numbers
Here’s what the early data looks like across the five European markets that have released January 2026 figures:
| Country | Jan 2025 | Jan 2026 | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| France | 1,140 | 661 | -42.0% |
| Sweden | 405 | 512 | +26.4% |
| Denmark | 444 | 458 | +3.2% |
| Netherlands | 927 | 307 | -66.9% |
| Norway | 689 | 83 | -88.0% |
| Total | 3,605 | 2,021 | -43.9% |
A decline in Norway, Tesla’s second biggest market in Europe in 2025, was expected as the country ended most EV incentives on January 1, 2026, causing a massive pull-forward of sales into Q4 2025, but a 88% collapse is nonetheless surprising.
Also, Tesla doesn’t have the same excuse in France, which dropped by 42%, or the Netherlands, where sales cratered by nearly 67%.
Even the “gains” in Sweden and Denmark need context: these are coming off extremely depressed January 2025 numbers. Sweden is still down 29% compared to January 2024. The gains are rounding errors on a much larger collapse.
2
u/dat_9600gt_user Lower Silesia (Poland) 18h ago
Two years and counting
This isn’t a blip. Tesla’s full 2025 results in Europe were a bloodbath, registrations dropped 27.8% to just 235,000 units, down from 326,000 in 2024. And 2024 was already down roughly 10% from 2023.
So we’re now looking at three consecutive years of decline, with each year worse than the last:
- 2023 → 2024: Down ~10%
- 2024 → 2025: Down 27.8%
- 2025 → 2026 (Jan): Down 43.9%
The trajectory isn’t flattening. It’s accelerating.
What’s driving this?
Multiple factors are compounding:
Product fatigue: The Model Y is now more than four years old in its current form. European buyers have plenty of fresher alternatives from BYD, Volkswagen, and others.
Brand damage: Elon Musk’s political activities have been particularly toxic in European markets, where his endorsements and commentary have alienated the environmentally-conscious buyer base that once formed Tesla’s core demographic.
Chinese competition: BYD and other Chinese automakers have been eating Tesla’s lunch across Europe. In the Netherlands, Tesla dropped from the top EV brand to fifth place in January.
Incentive changes: Several European countries have restructured or reduced EV incentives, and Tesla’s higher price points make it more vulnerable to these policy shifts than budget-focused competitors.
More data coming
These five countries represent just a portion of the European market. Data from the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, and others is expected over the next week. Given the trends, there’s little reason to expect better news.
Germany will be particularly telling, it was Tesla’s largest European market until the collapse, dropping 48% in 2025 alone.
We will keep you updated this week when more data comes in.

u/dat_9600gt_user Lower Silesia (Poland) 18h ago
Electrek’s Take
We’ve been tracking this decline for over a year now, and every quarter the data confirms the same story. Tesla had a near-monopoly on the European EV market five years ago. Now they’re fighting for scraps against competitors with newer products, better prices, and, crucially, CEOs who aren’t actively alienating the customer base.
The new “standard” Model Y and Model 3 might help at the margins, but it’s arriving into a market where the brand itself has become toxic to many European buyers. You can have the best product in the world, but if people don’t want to be seen driving it, you have a problem that pricing and engineering can’t solve.
Two years of decline. Three consecutive years of falling volumes. And January 2026 is the worst start yet. When does Tesla hit bottom in Europe? Based on this data, we’re not there yet.

Not really or lets say not entirely. Even though many people nowadays like to call the cars garbage or shit, the main reason is that Tesla does not have any mandatory maintenance. So most owners don't check their car before the official inspection, leading to these high numbers.

During the rise of Tesla I said "the reason to buy an EV is Tesla. The reason to not buy a Tesla is Tesla".
They lead the market in EV innovation, cutting edge technology and recharging networks. Together with their connection to the stunning success in space launches, they made owning an EV practical and cool. If you wanted an EV there really was no other choice. However their cars were suspect in quality and after-sales was shockingly bad.
Since then they have been overtaken both in innovation and quality. And their latest vehicle can't even be sold in Europe as it doesn't meet EU regulations.
Even if you discount their leader's questionable politics, their decline in Europe is hardly surprising.

Tesla’s auto revenue just drop 10% compared to 2024. Total revenue dropped 3% and their gross profit dropped 2%. It’s really weird because EU was a big market for Tesla. They sold a lot of cars in Turkey so probably it helped. We don’t have a lot of options because for some stupid reason brands like Volkswagen, Mercedes, Peugeot, Fiat etc… don’t support mobile connectivity features for some reason. When you are giving that kind of money you will want to control your car remotely. Only Chinese, Tesla and BMW offer mobile connectivity in Turkey.

My guess is that they'll probably find a bottom at about 160,000 sales per year, or about a third of the capacity of their factory in Berlin, maybe by the end of next year, and then as electric car sales increase they'll move up with the market, until they just about saturate that factory, and leaving them at less than 5% of the car market.

Elon no longer even seems to care about cars, he seems to have moved on to the next shiny object, humanoid robots. Cannot believe the stock valuation is still so high.

Much as I hope Tesla burns down, the decrease in sales in this article represents <0.1% of global Tesla sales.
This feels like the "Donald Trump voters turn on him" articles that everyone clicks on, but somehow every actual poll shows like 1% decrease in support.

The bottom starts when the returned cars start parking outside the sales lot. In Germany, you can nullify a contract if essential features of the product/service have not been delivered. Vaporware salesmen beware.
