Tesla sales have plummeted in the province of Québec, with just 96 new Model 3 cars registered in the first three months of 2025.

Tesla sales in Québec plunged 85% in the first quarter, mirroring sharp declines seen in Europe.

Canada has frozen $43 million in Tesla EV rebates due to Trump’s tariffs and fraud concerns.

Musk’s DOGE work sparked backlash, boycotts, and dealership vandalism across the US and Europe.

    Good! Bring it down to 100% and also bring down Twitter usage to similar levels! Build fiber to rural areas so they won’t need Starlink or if you currently use Starlink see if fixed wireless is possible, maybe with a parabolic antenna on your roof or on an antenna tower you could get a signal. Keep boycotting Elon Musk until he’s bankrupt.

    Let’s just rule out junkie musks, nazi embodying, man child contempt for everyone but himself.

    Tesla sucks. There are other, better options.

    Tesla might have sparked the interest to consumers but they are trash

        That is very true. Or a Steve Jobs. Lots of rarified men out there happy to take credit for things other people created.

      I really miss ten years ago, when I had a faint glimmer of hope that he might not be a complete piece of shit. He really showed his character with the “pedo guy” debacle and has been on a steep downward trajectory since.

        Very true. The last straw for me was the incident where he carried a sink around the Twitter offices. Immediately nuked my Twitter and switched to Mastodon afterward.

      With the recent threats against Greta Thunburg, I like to remind people that Tesla provided her a car that she spent a significant part of a year touring the USA in some time ago.

      Then Elon took off his mask.

      UPDATE: while she did have use of a Tesla, it was provided by Arnold Schwarzenegger not Tesla/Musk.

      Stock market as a whole is…okay I guess. These one-off, bulletproof companies are silly. It’s almost a religion and the people who hold the stock truly believe that Tesla is going to make automatic cars that will drive everyone while also making autonomous robots that will do everyone’s laundry and the current problems are nothing compared to the beliefs in the future. The value will hold until it doesn’t (eg, they finally need the money for today’s bills in a recession that cost them their jobs), and then the value will plummet to something that actually looks normal for the sales they are making at this time.

      Until they need their money, they have the unshakable belief they will all be millionaires as soon as Tesla comes out with the world changing techs and has no competition. Should be any day now. Or maybe in 2 weeks.

        The fact that it’s in the S&P500 also gives the stock some staying power that it otherwise wouldn’t have, because a lot of people indirectly hold shares of it in a way that they can’t easily dike out of their portfolio

          If it were to ever exit the S&P 500, it would for sure fall pretty hard. Unfortunately, for that to happen, it would need to fall even harder first.

      That’s what gets me. What stupid ass holes are holding this up? Let it fucking die. Maybe don’t tie up all your money with a neurotic criminal next time? What piece of shit idiot has their income riding on Tesla shares.

      We probably won’t see much movement until the next earnings call. However I can tell you the drop is already priced in. TSLA puts are super expensive. 1 month put is $2200.

      Their valuation was never based on car sales, theyre valued like a tech company. It’s a long term bet that their self driving and other tech will set them up for large profits eventually.

      Really curious what you think the ‘sham’ is on the stock market and how it supposedly works.

    I still see way too much tesla in Montréal. I’ve been telling people musk is a fascist bitch ever since he bought Twitter and let the nazis back in. Décâlisse Elon.

        Standing in a middle of a torrential downpour, completely soaked, getting sick, and tired.
        Hails a cab
        Sees that it is a cybertruck
        “I would prefer to die right now then get into one”
        Stops hailing for a cab
