      Tesla sales in the Netherlands took a significant hit in January, even as the country’s overall electric vehicle (EV) market saw strong growth. The decline has sparked speculation that CEO Elon Musk’s public image may be influencing consumer sentiment.

      Tesla registered only 900 new cars in the Netherlands last month, marking its lowest sales volume in 18 months. According to data from RAI Vereniging, BOVAG, and RDC, the overall EV market grew by 28.2 percent year-over-year, with 11,157 new electric cars registered.

      Turns out Europeans don’t want Nazi cars

      Who could have predicted this

      Their sales are plunging in all of Europe I believe. Turns out we are not super fond of nazis, unsurprisingly.

      I wonder how declining sales are going to affect Tesla Gig factory in Germany…will there be job losses and plant shutdowns if this sales decline trend continues…

      Plunged. In a country much of which is below sealevel, and still sinking, should be a sign of… glub glub…..

      Maybe, just maybe slow down the enthusiasm a little bit?

      Rumour has it that a (good looking) new model Y will be released in a few months, people could be waiting for that.

      Large numbers of (3-5 year old) Tesla’s from lease companies are hitting the 2nd hand market.

      Lease companies buy ‘in bulk’, and januari could have been an “Oops, not today, thank you” month.

      “*BOVAG has yet to make a definitive connection. “It is too early to directly link these sales figures to Musk’s public image,” a spokesperson said*.”

      100% the reason.

      You mean interfering on elections and doing Roman salutes is unpopular in Europe? Who could have thought /s

      I think people and the media are trying way too hard to correlate what Musk did with Tesla sales. Personally, I would never buy a Tesla after the nazi salute, but we must take into consideration that a) this is data for the whole month and he did the salute when 2/3s of January had already passed, b) last year they didn’t face BYD’s competition or at least not on the same level and c) there are new models announced and it’s normal for sales to wind down before releases. While I don’t think the salute had a strong impact in January, I don’t doubt it will in the coming months. Like I said, a Tesla would probably be the car I’d get a month ago and now I would never get one.

      I’m not sure how much power Tesla’s board has but they should oust Musk ASAP. He’s terrible for the brand and his behavior will potentially put people’s jobs on the line. Keeping him only shows that the board values Tesla’s stock price higher than their employees because yeah, Musk leaving will surely tank the stock.

      I salute the EV-drivers with EU license plates for their stand.
