Is Musk's Politics Tanking Tesla? German Sales Plummet 76%
Posted: Wed Mar 05, 2025 2:35 pm
Is Musk’s political outspokenness tanking Tesla? German registrations reportedly plummeted 76% last month. Coincidence or a calculated consumer rejection of Musk’s politics? With former Canadian finance minister Chrystia Freeland suggesting a 100% tariff on Teslas, the international backlash seems to be gaining momentum. Even in the US, some Tesla owners are seemingly distancing themselves from the brand. Is this a temporary blip or a sign of things to come? How much does a CEO’s political stance influence your purchasing decisions? Is this purely political or are there other factors contributing to Tesla’s recent struggles? What’s your take on the declining used Tesla prices? Is this a buying opportunity or a warning sign? I predict this trend will continue unless Musk drastically changes his approach. Discuss.
