Tesla experienced a dramatic 76% drop in sales in Germany for February, marking a worrying trend for the electric vehicle manufacturer. This decline is largely attributed to the growing discontent among German consumers regarding Elon Musk's controversial political affiliations and remarks, particularly his humor concerning historical atrocities and support for the far-right AfD party. Protest and vandalism at Tesla dealerships indicate a severe backlash from both current and potential Tesla owners who feel embarrassed by their association with Musk's tarnished image, while similar sales declines are also noted across other European countries.
Of course, as a Tesla driver you were always the fool: the Green party voter, the world saviour, the CO2 guy. But now you're in a category that's no longer funny. Now you're suddenly in the corner with the right-wingers.
Tesla dealerships have been hit with waves of protests and vandalism as current owners are appalled at the mere notion of being associated with Musk's tarnished image.
In Germany, sales have fallen for two months in a row, a clear sign that Germans are increasingly fed up with Musk's embrace of far-right ideologies.
Musk's support of Germany's highly divisive AfD political party has caused a major uproar in the country, with residents furious over his meddling with February elections.
