*reduced Tesla's sales by up to 1.2 million vehicles over a three-year period, the researchers estimated in a working paper published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research*
You need a study by Yale to tell you this?
Was ready to say the same thing
lol no shit
Man, them Ivy Leaguers don’t miss a trick, do they?
Did you know the sky is blue?
coulda told you that for free, that aligning with nazi's ain't going well over in europe, that alining with the orange felon ain't going well over with progressive people in the US who were the larger group to by EV's. Now Elmo is stuck selling EV's to the MAGA crowd, who don't want anything to do with EV's, since they want REAL cars with a combustion engine running on gas. And well, in China, Tesla is falling behind technologically, on price and being a racist biggot doesn't help sales there either
It's nice to have receipts
😱
So, Elon crushes sales, then gets paid to increase sales from the lowered base. Perfect.
In other news: water discovered to be wet
I would have done it cheaper
Ah oh... Bad press about TSLA... time for the stock to rise.
No kidding!
Ironically, if they got a federal grant to fund said study, cutting off that grant is one thing for which DOGE would have actually been useful.
In before the pedants who don’t understand that “wet” has more than one meaning.
They wasted time and resources to do a study on what is obvious?
Only the finest ejumikashun.
To be fair they do like to study all the things
No fucking shit. I was adamant my next car was going to be a Tesla a few years ago, but after his crazy toxic behavior I bought a hybrid as at the time there were not any good (imo) alternatives. Ny next car will be electric, but it won't be a Tesla.
Yes, because: A) Something being obvious is not proof B) The size of the effect is interesting information
I still see Tesla sheep that insist he has not done anything wrong.
Now we need a Study that measures the damage Musk has done to the United States.
That article failed to even mention that Musk is a Nazi who did Nazi salutes to support his Trump, then when he got called out on it, made Holocaust jokes.
And yet he was asked to stay on as their leader?$$$
and for that.. you get... $1 trillion dollars.. maniacal doctor evil laugh that hits the mark
Well when you've given that much money to nazis it makes sense you'd feel the need to save face.
Tesla lovers (I have many in my own extended family) are fine with this.
also, for the MBA student(s) who did it.. Easiest thesis ever.
From the Ministry of Duh 🙄
Being a researcher at Yale sounds easy. Maybe they'll study the dampness of water next.
Uhhh, Yale did a study on this? It's like when Ohio State spent millions to determine teenagers don't have a fully formed brain! Even Elon knows that Yale looks stupid after that. . .
certain r/electricvehicles users would, yet these knobs would still find a way to defend their precious cult brand and dear leader.
I feel like the gang at Greendale Community College could probably have done this study.
From the journal DUH magazine, who else to blame? You guessed it, Frank Stallone.
But he should be paid 1 Trillion. Make it make sense
Who woulda thought that waving a chainsaw around while high in ketamine after you’ve slashed thousands of govt jobs for no real reason would have this kind of impact.
Yet he is worth a Trillion Dollar compensation package?
What sealed the deal for me was him attending an AfD (German far- right political party with known Nazi elements), a few days after he threw the "roman salute", and talking about how Germans should get over their "past guilt". https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/25/europe/elon-musk-germany-afd-protests-intl-latam
If you already own a Tesla, you may as well keep it otherwise you’re going to take a loss. Buying a new Tesla? That would be a different story.
Underrated comment.
They should have elucidated, the study was by Yale Lock Corp.
File that under "No Shit Sherlock."
No shit, Sherlock!
Falls into the “no, duh” category
He was like this since,….well ever?? I don’t hold anything against people who didn’t know because if SNL or TBBT did not properly do their background check on him before letting him on the show, I can’t blame the average Joe.
Now that’s a waste of school resources. I bet you folks from the community college you can figure that out!
yep
That's putting it lightly. Let's not pussyfoot around it: his Nazi beliefs. Not polarizing or partisan. Nazi.
Idk. Depending on the amount, that loss might be worth it.
I jumped ship. Tesla x 3, last car, Ioniq 5.
You need a study to tell you the magnitude.
D'uh.
Also, the sky is blue, and water is wet.
r/noshitsherlock
And still got three trillion and got thousands fired
Well done Yale! Those endowments are really getting their moneys worth. Up Ivy League! Huzzah!
lol, Jesus…a study was required for this?
And C) A lot of people at Tesla are trying to pretend this isn’t true
I’m glad there’s intellectuals to figure stuff like this out for us common folk.
A lot of people here that don’t understand the researchers were quantifying how much it affected sales, not just whether it had an effect. CBS News’ headline writer makes them look like idiots for doing this research, but they were never merely trying to determine yes/no, but put some numbers to it. The research says they’d have like 70% higher car sales without his political actions.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
Still. Nice to rub it in his face anyways.

No fucking way. Did someone pay for this report? Jesus Christ
We need our best minds to tell us being a really annoying white nationalist is bad for business.
Even if you think he didn't "do" anything wrong the amount of great replacement theory stuff he boosts on Twitter is beyond the pale.
Yes because now it's officially scientifically proven that pedo guy doesn't know wtf he's doing.
But at least he didn't go to prison.
In the latest installment of No Fucking Shit
Yeah but this is one of those *'no fucking shit, sherlock'* types of studies that nobody needed to know it's true
What the hell is water?
Sure, but give the man a trillion dollar incentive package anyway
There is no study, argument, fact that will change their mind. It's a cult
really ya think?!?! Common Yale, do something useful, like how did it get here that billionaires have some much power, how does society dismantle this mess. just two useful questions i can think of.
This one youtube EV reviewer guy is still all up on Elon.
IKR?!?!?
Good thing they gave him a $1 trillion dollar deal, he is doing wonders for the company /s
A study by the Keller School for the Blind concurred.
Nah, can't be a Nazi or Netenyahu would have called him out...
Ya think?
Well they have a remarquable sense of the obvious (still I get the fact there is now a study make the obvious harder to deny)
Thanks, Yale. Couldn’t have figured it out without ya
Duh.
Harvard has found that studies from Yale are stupid.
Could really have saved a lot of money on this one.
Nobody should need it, but listen to the fanboys a little bit and you'll see that it actually is necessary.
I have the money to buy any one of the models, but, nope. Never.
None of my homies buy Nazi mobiles.
