interesting to me, a lot of European countries are still buying Tesla EVs over other manufacturers because they're the cheapest ones with range.
The tesla chinese factory musk somehow got sweetheart deals on saved the company.
Though at current rates of selling / gross margins, tesla stock is well over 20x overvalued. They just need magic robots to justify the stock price although they have approximately a 0% chance of that ever delivering in a meaningful way.

Im just happy the stock is now slightly in the red after being almost 3% plus pre-market.

Other than them still buying Teslas, which is disgusting.

While it's bad, remember that 80 % of Norwegian car buyers don't buy Teslas. Tesla's market share in Norway for 2025 is between 19 % and 20 %. One of the major factors for the sales figures is that they offer financing with zero percent interest for 3 years. Another factor is that Norwegians were very early adopters of EVs, with high EV sales numbers in the time period when almost nobody except Tesla offered EVs that were "real cars" that could go far and bring your whole family. I mean, would you rather buy a Nissan Leaf or a Tesla Model S for your family? Thus, everyone and their grandma already have a Tesla, and a huge fan following. So the shame in buying one is less compared to other countries where, comparatively, they have just started shifting towards EVs, and it becomes very obvious that you are "one of those Tesla guys" if you buy one, because there aren't so many Teslas around.

Well... We will see what 2026 brings. The current allegedly left wing government has imposed sales tax on all viable EVs. They hate that Norwegians having the freedom to drive, so they are now trying to kill car sales.

Norway is actually a terrible place for electric vehicles. Very cold, wet and hilly.

it's best possible place for electric vehicles. working batteries produce heat and require water cooling, hills support regenerative braking

Fuck them. They make money selling fuels just so that they can afford EVs.

Imho the company itself will likely always be fine. That doesn't mean whatsoever though that the stock is even remotely justified in its current valuation. 290 PE ratio is just hilarious for a car company.

Yes, they do.
They have reduced range, but even a reduced range EV is still more environmentally friendly then an ICE car.

No they don't and no it isn't. The most ecologically sound car choices are
1. No car at all
2. A 10 year old or so small sized small engined used petrol car such as a VW Golf

This is sadly what green parties suffer from everywhere. They hate solutions that involve innovation and technology. They hate nuclear power, they hate air travel, they hate CARS but they love trains.
If they would just look past their ideological roots and focus on smart solutions instead of braindead myths and lies they would probably be able to gain significantly more voters.
