Tesla sales plummet 80.7% in Sweden amid Elon Musk backlash

I like how Tesla thinks replacing their CEO is going to bring those sales back.
- TESLA would have to fire Elon, force him to sell all his shares (ALL of them), and fire all Elon's family from the board so the public in general MAY start looking at tesla as a viable purchase again...
  
  If he sells his shares, he gets money for them, right? They should be seized, and he should be put in a cell deep underground with those warning signs intended to communicate danger to future generations.
  
  Do they magically start to make good and affordable cars then?

Proud to be swede this morning. But it was really norway that was very into Teslas; how're they doing?
- Apparently sales are up in Norway by about 11% for April.

  Not great to hear.

Happy to see that Polestar has overtaken Tesla in Sweden now. Hope it stays that way.
- Wait, polestar only now pulled ahead in Sweden? That's honestly kind if sad. If your home nation won't support you, how will anyone else. So yeah good, but this should have always been the trend.
  
  polestar sold much better before they moved production to china, which of course meant tariffs for EU buyers. also, polestar's cheapest option is like double the price of the cheapest tesla if i'm not mistaken.
  
  Polestar is made in china, that's why.
- Thats strange. I see Teslas everywhere, but never polestar. A lot of Volvos too.

Impressive numbers with still some room for improvement. Thats how i like it.

The ongoing union ban on working with the notoriously anti-union company can’t have helped much either.

I’m surprised the shareholders aren’t considering suing him. He’s the CEO, and yet causing material harm to the company.
- That is why Musk has bought the president.
  
  Not in Sweden he hasn't (yet)

Keep it up Sweden
