Yeah, most of us don’t like nazis, and the irony of VW beating Tesla because of that is not lost on me

Wish my id4 didn’t break down all the time. Loved the car otherwise.

First and last ID4. Damn thing is full of bugs and glitches with shit range.

Elon Musk’s backing of far right parties and meddling in the internal politics of Europe has definitely played a role in the dwindling sales of Tesla
Looks like Europeans are rallying behind “Buy European” .

I know people are happy to dunk on Musk because he’s a piece of shit (who also was begging to go to the pedo Island).
However, this is less a situation where Volkswagen is winning and more a situation where Tesla is losing. Both companies are going through incredible low points that’s led to Volkswagen laying off people and closing factories.
The reality is that China is eating into both companies market share as their car companies have expanded globally.

That is what happens when your company sells more cars and is increasing the number of EVs year by year. Oh, and actually puts effort into reliability.
Seriously, Tesla makes a fifth as many cars as Voltswagen. For context, Tesla is worth more than the top 15 manufacturers combined but does not produce enough cars to be in the top 15 largest car manufacturers.

Unfortunately whenever tesla under preforms its stock price jumps.

Good. Hopefully Tesla will be gone from Europe in a few years. They somehow got cleared to start a trial of FSD here in Sweden. We need more attentive drivers, not less.

FUCK TESLA!!

VW, the brand, overtook Tesla. VAG, the company, had already overtaken Tesla a while ago.

I want to look at theirs. I wonder how people like it and how repairs are going for those that have needed them. A lot of German cars are more expensive in the U.S. but maybe this won’t be as bad as the luxury vehicles.

The article is so bare bones. Is this VAG (incl. Audi, Skoda etc) or just Volkswagen?

Wasn’t long ago VW was working with Nazis, and now they’re punching out the guy who owns Tesla and throws out Nazi salutes. I’d say that’s a win for today’s VW

I don’t buy from pedo Nazis

Tesla stock will somehow go up

Tue worst part is that wolkswagen nowadays does overpriced cars and with a way lower quality than before

At least we know they’re not going to lie about their emissions this time.

Volkswagon > Swasticar. That is all.

Loss in sales in Europe? I’m pretty sure this can somehow translate into stock price jumping up.
Perhaps less sales means tesla can now work on new cars, or, or, or … maybe even robots that can do Nazi salute /s

I judge people who bought teslas in 2025/26.. MAGA is no longer a joke, they’re fascist movement that’s a threat to democracy.

Musk backstabbed himself with his political mucking around.

Yeah but because we hate Elon, not because VW has such good electric vehicles. We sure slept in EV 10 years to long.

Tesla made the best EVs, when no one else was making EVs.

Are VWs outside the US sanely priced? Here they want Audi prices for VW badges, with Audi maintenance schedules and costs.
Hell, the new van-thing they put out is like 70k baseline here. Who is paying 70k for a VW electric van?

Cool! Elon sucks!

Tesla losing to a company started by Nazis because of Elons politics is peak irony

Is VW better than Tesla because they haven’t supported a fascist dictatorship for 70 years?
Srapture on
I don’t even think this is political, honestly. Teslas look cool (the Model S, at least) and they’re fast. When Tesla initially achieved its massive success, they were the only electric cars that did this. Everything else was a bunch of lame, slow cars with shit range that were exclusively sold to hippies who only cared about reducing fossil fuel emissions.
This is no longer the case. Tesla has a lot of competition in all the ways that matter. Because of that, their high price and wacky interiors where you do everything through a touch screen are not something people have to endure to get a nice electric car these days.
Tesla laid the ground work for the EVs of today, but that doesn’t mean they’ll still be here tomorrow.

I used to really, really want a Tesla. Now I wouldn’t take one as a gift.
