Elon is the bottom.
There is a bottom. 0 It will happen eventually, even taking Musk out of the equation, they are selling 2 cars that now look old and there are better alternatives out there.
Australia is much the same.. Jan sales: Tesla: 501 sales, -32.2% BYD: 5001 sales, +640.9% Edit: [https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/vfacts-january-2026-australias-new-vehicle-market-up-just](https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/vfacts-january-2026-australias-new-vehicle-market-up-just)
I wonder if they are taking losses on those giga factories investments.
European EV owner here. We are changing our car this year and I would pay 50% more to not drive a Tesla. Luckily there are ton of great alternatives from Kia, Skoda, VW, BMW now so I don't have to.
They’ll be selling two actual cars to their two remaining customers and the share price will still be upwards of $500.
Canadian here. Same thing !
Same here.
Good. Fuck TSLA
Sorry from Germany, they went up 1.7% in January here. But to our defense, the whole market grew by 23%. Teslas ev market share went down from 3.7 to 3.0%.
He’s certainly Trump’s bottom.
If over 700,000,000 people in Europe don't want his cars, why would they want to buy his 'robots'?
So I guess we know that 3% of Germans vote AfD and want an EV.
And yet TSLA will go up regardless. 0 sense.
So, stock up 5% today, or 10?
Just wild guessing here, but I think that the drop last year was fueled by anti Elon sentiment from the proportion of the population that was aware of Elon’s Nazi sentiment. However there were still a part that wasn’t aware or didn’t care enough to couple Elon’s sentiments with Tesla. However this year, we now have a large anti-American component to the drop too. Even the European far right feels that the US has gone too far and looks at the US with growing suspicion, as MAGA apparently does not mean MEGA but instead MESTAOR (Make Europe Subservient To America or Russia. So Tesla has lost almost all bastions of support, and all is left is the people who still thinks Elon is Tech-Jesus who has come to earth to save humanity. That’s a shrinking demographic as his Nazi antics sort of flies in the face of the savior image he wants to portray.
Next step, sell SpaceX to Tesla for $400 trillion, spin off xAI, sell Tesla to xAI for $500 trillion, spin off SpaceX, sell xAI back to SpaceX for $600 trillion, rinse, repeat
the factories were bought with regulatory credits more or less.
Don't forget the actual quality of the cars. I've seen lots of reporting of them being one of the least reliable.
Sure there is a bottom, can’t get below zero.
Only up 1%. Need more bad news to get it to the moon.
Give new Toyota bZ or Subaru Solterra a try. The latest models improved a lot and it’s dirt cheap as AWD.
As an American that’s not racist and understands world news it’s reassuring that most countries refuse to buy from Elon and companies owned by nepo billionaires that talk trash to most of society
2% right now
...and the stock goes up 5%
It's down there somewhere. Let me take another look.
That’s part of the problem with the futuristic design language - it looks dated more quickly.
Good
My money is on VW buying the Berlin factory by the end of the year.
BYD just warming up. The Atto 1 gonna eat.
Good news. This totally-not-a-car-company is selling fewer cars, so they will be more focused on their not-a-car-company products. Expecting the stock to go up 10%.
As a Canadian family-driver type of person, would you do me a small favour next time you're near Wolfsburg DE? Please stand outside and scream politely at the corporate HQ, that we want the 2028 VW ID Buzz long camper with a massive range improvement, V2X, and Rivian software, immediately if not sooner? Thank you. PS. Of course Elon can go eat a bag of dicks.
Calls!
Good News, stock go brrrrrr
based on this trajectory, 2027 will be the break out year with car sales down a record 92%. This is Musk at his best with his strategic 3D chess. It will finally allow him to build (mostly non-fuctional) robots to maintain his (non-existent) data center in outerspace. Stock up 122% on the news.
>* 2023 → 2024: Down ~10% >* 2024 → 2025: Down 27.8% >* 2025 → 2026 (Jan): Down 43.9% >The trajectory isn’t flattening. It’s accelerating. For all who are too lazy to math: Its 63% down overall, so far. Now add Chinas New law for car handle...
Not sure where you're seeing down 43.9% for Jan 2026. Jan 2025 = \~9,700 total Jan 2026 = \~7,800 total (maybe 1-2 small countries left to report)
But... that would be cannibalism.
BMW has been here for three years!
Good. Make them get rid of their facist ceo
We can make an exception here
But BYD who where far behind Tesla in Jan. 2025 this month sold double the Cars compared to the Musk-Mobiles.
Same for me - and i already made my choice: Skoda Elroq.
This is a question that's never asked in public. Their TAM estimate is complete BS. I personally don't see the point of battery powered androids even without the Tesla brand. Robots should do things humans can't do ourselves. For that we have actual useful robots by Kuka, ABB etc.
Meanwhile, sales are in over 9% in China, the world's largest auto market.
Here in Sweden they have been blacklisted by ARN because they refuse to fix obvious issues that should be covered by warranty. ARN judgements aren't binding but Tesla is the only car brand that has refused to fix issues ten times in a row. Their refusal to negotiate with the union has also made them loathed in Sweden.
China just banned hidden door handles. They did that for a reason, and it's not safety.
same
Counted BEVs only, they are nearly the same (1300 Tesla vs. 1500 BYD). BYD is only strong in small cars (Dolphin Surf). Interresting how it developes when VW starts with the ID.Polo
Smert.
Fuuuuck. Is reality catching up? Finally.
Same here
Same, also I have a company with employees that have gotten tesla in the past. That will also never happen again.
TSLA stock cant crash soon enough....
at this point, how can you trust the company that is either unwilling or unable to change CEO?
But they aren't a car company, it's ok! They are a... AI? nope, not that anymore... let's see... oh yeah, Tesla, the company that sells cars, isnt' a car company, they are a robotics company! So... that's why the stock is so high! They must be selling a LOT of robots!!
BYD is SO happy that Musk came out as a terrible Nazi and hateful, stupid person, while at the same time the US decided to fight the future and stop pushing EV's or green energy here. It's like halfway through the Olympic marathon, one of the leading competitors says "running is dumb, I'm going to drop out and take up smoking instead."
Not EV owner , but I might buy one when my 20+year car die. Tesla is banned from my search even if they are the best EV in my opinion. Other brand offers good alternative.
They are selling only 2 car model but still the best value/price of the market at that price range. It's just people don't like nazi.
I would not read too much into that stat from Jan 2026; Australia sales are very lumpy and the 500 or so Tesla sales is normal in Jan compared with 2000 - 3000 per month. The BYD sales are more significant; they are releasing new models on a regular basis, they are popular and gaining a reputation for reliability and good quality Atto 1 should mean BYD take top spot this year, and Tesla continues to decline Here in NZ the market seems flooded with second hand Tesla M3 at very reasonable prices. I am keen to buy an EV this year to replace my ICE, but I made a decision to not buy a Tesla while Elon is there
I wish I could insert a fingers crossed emoji here. I know Musk doesn't care because he's pivoting to SpaceX and Ai now. Tesla will dies on the vine and he won't notice.
Yeah. We’ve declined the applications for Tesla ever since the Nazi salute. It was the very last and thinnest straw there ever was.
He's probably already eaten them.
> Not sure where you're seeing down 43.9% for Jan 2026. From the article...
"Here’s what the early data looks like across the five European markets that have released January 2026 figures"
Who is gonna want a first gen house robot?
I think that's what he's going to do.
Musk is shrewd; he knows Tesla failed, that's why he switched to SpaceX.
I really don’t believe that’s the case. There has been so many issues with those, especially with Chinese manufacturers, I honestly believe its due to safety. There are several Chinese manufacturers affected as well.
Maybe the "amazing abundance" is in excess inventory.
>PS. Of course Elon can go eat a bag of dicks. Or run backwards through a field of them.
For $5 sure. Not for what the price will need to be to recoop the sunk costs.
If any friend would buy a tesla at this point, i would seriously reconsider if that friendship is worth maintaining, and pretty much everyone around me feels the same way. Musk is a social cancer.
I have to say given the cost, reliability, battery life, and depreciation, I'm confounded why people are even buying electric cars anymore. Especially in the US where there are no more tax credits.
What about the cyber truck? /s
You can according to Trump; sales can easily drop by 300, 400, 600%
When sales of Tesla cars drop to zero, The stock will rise to infinity.
Then you do not know how Chinese work. The timing is the important part.
German numbers: Tesla +1,9 % YoY Sounds like a bottom? Well, BEVs grew 24 % YoY, so the market share for BEVs for Tesla shrank from 3,7 % to 3 %. Yes, that's right, Tesla is barely selling 3 % of all BEVs in Germany. 1.301 cars. Out of over 42.000. BYD sold twice as many. And VW has like 50+ % market share.
Say what? I save 2800 € per year over ICE due to gas cost alone. My battery sits at 93 % after 100.000 km. My car is the most reliable I have ever owned and depreciation only exists for people that sell young cars, not for people that buy to drive them until they break. Anybody not driving electric these days that could charge at home is an idiot.
Doesn't matter. That fascist owns a majority of the company. Even if he leaves nobody wants to buy Teslas because the money ends up in his pocket. Tesla is done.
VW wants to shut down three of their German plants and you think they want to add another one???
20 % of German built Model Y fail the mandatory check after three years. Normal rate is 4 %.
Many people, myself included. But not from Musk.
That's about the maximum as it gets since our AFDler are like the US MAGAs are gasoline guzzlers ...
I dunno... Compare a 2012 Model S to a competitor, like a 2012 Audi A4. Did the Tesla age worse? I would argue not. The infotainment bigscreen was a uniquely bold design for 2012 that has stood up incredibly well. The cyber truck is a different story. The folded aluminum shell is interesting from a technical point of view. But it never stood a chance against the background of Elon's growing public toxicity.
>Luckily there are ton of great alternatives For some reason people don't like to buy brandnew OLD cars.
What car, how long have you had it, what country?
Well... divided by zero = infinity
Would you have him use assholes instead? It would STILL be cannibalism.
To do what?
Yeah just wait for the new model y....
Malaysian here. Same! Fuck tesla malaysia
Good thing Tesla is NOT a car company. /s
Tesla is finished in Europe, I have said before that the factory in Germany will close. As soon as Musk started his antics with Trump, his fate was sealed. On top of that his acts are now less desirable than other EV vehicles
Don't buy from fascists.
BYD is the way.
You misspelled Eldof
American here, Fuck Elon, Tesla, Starlink and anything that fucking bigot is even remotely associated with. Same for the Orangutan we have in the Oval office
That would be Chinese EVs.
This is a structural problem. Tesla are not converting existing customers coming off lease into replacement cars. Instead they are moving to different brands. These customers are likely lost forever. Tesla is valued as a tech company, but this level of customer churn would be unheard of in a successful tech business.
Millions of robots! Wait....what? Not one robot sold yet?
Tesla wouldn’t care cuz it’s not a car company! Right? /s
Not screwed enough to avoid the whole messy stupid business of the ultra-right wing stuff though. Elon could have been a people’s hero, but he chose the wrong path…
Probably why elon used the excuse of not making anymore model S and X to make the robot. It will suck for owners when he discontinues the model 3 the Y. Similar to Fisker. Imagine driving around a car you know will go into the junkyard once a part breaks down because they don't make them anymore.
*More!!!*
Isn’t Europe a shitty market anyway tho…
but FSD!!!! /s
Overall, Chinese EV sales are down. BYD, the world’s largest EV maker, reported its lowest monthly sales in nearly two years this January, with domestic sales dropping roughly 30% year-over-year. This marked the company's fifth consecutive month of declining sales. So it's possible the Chinese government is giving manufacturers time to stop production and time to regroup.
Where are all the fan boys. silent at last. I love it.
Volvo ex60!
Glad Europe remembers that musk is dangerous and any car purchase increases his power and wealth.
Amazing that Trump changed ev regulations so other US auto makers abandoned their ev programs to clear the way for Tesla
Hedge funds short sellers
January is Tesla's export month. So, naturally deliveries/sales are down. Exports from Giga Shanghai surged 71% in January. Remember, Tesla only counts a sale when the car is delivered.
