Why the joy of the decline of Tesla is premature – diepresse.com
The sales and winning figures of the first quarter were devastating for Tesla. But there are other reasons than the erratic occurrence of company boss Musk.
Schaden joy is the most beautiful way of joy for some people. If the damage then hits the « right », then the joy is limitless.
Quite a few are so in the face of Tesla’s numbers. The gross profit of the American electric car manufacturer collapsed by 71 percent in the first quarter, just $ 409 million. The pure sales with electric cars decreased by a fifth to modest 14 billion euros. On Thursday, the number of new registrations in Europe came for the first quarter: minus 45 percent.
Some may treat this less to the company, more definitely his boss and majority owner Elon Musk. In the past few months, the former favorite of the political left had noticed primarily through his unconditional support from US President Donald Trump, through his rigorous savings plans as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) and overall-friendly to say: strange appearance.
In the United States, violent people damage Tesla vehicles, and sales outlets have already been lit. Stickers on Tesla models are widespread: “I bought the car before it (Musk is meant, note) is turned through. » A competitor has changed the saying slightly and advertised his products with a sticker: « I bought the car after it is crazy. »
E-car market grew up-but not for Tesla
In fact, more and more customers seem to go to cars from the competition and to punish Elon Musk. Especially in Europe, whose residents are probably as negative than any other continent, the development is interesting: the electric car market increased in the first quarter of the year. By 23.9 percent compared to the previous year’s period to almost 413,000 newly approved cars. In Germany, the plus for approvals is 38.9 percent. Alone: Tesla could not benefit from it, but sold 45 percent fewer cars in Europe.
However, you have to put the undoubtedly massive decline in Tesla into perspective on several levels.
