In Canada they were clearly trying to fake sales to steal tax credits from the government. Canada froze their funds and told them to fuck off. The U.S. won't stop Musk from faking sales to make it look better than it is. Guaranteed Musk is up to some fuckery.

Q3 2025: Americans buy over 900 million cybertrucks.
I assume that's in the US only. The sames drop in Europe is far worse (40 to 80% depending on country) because they are less receptive to fascists than the US.
Tesla reported deliveries of 336,681 globally in the January to March quarter. The figure was down from sales of 387,000 in the same period a year ago.
Emphasis: globally
Edit: also note, "Tesla reported". I wouldn't trust them to be giving accurate numbers, so it's actually probably a lot worse.
There's no way those numbers are real: https://apnews.com/article/tesla-sales-recall-trump-byd-b6f5da15be491d16e3020598e3ddf861
Canadian sales are fabricated and they are down in China too as BYD eat their lunch. Where else would the shortfall come from?
I thought I remember reading that UK numbers went up. But I wonder if that's a situation like the Canadian "sales" they had recently...
The Canadian "sales" where three Tesla dealerships each averaged one car sold for every single minute during a three-day weekend? No, that was totally legit.
They've gone up, but it looks like it might be to get ahead of the April tax on cars over £40k. We might see a reduction in sales April onwards, and as the article points out the sales increase is below that of other brands.
Still not ideal though.
That would make more sense
Never underestimate political apathy.
This is a company that is now immune to any federal investigation. Worth keeping that in mind when going over their numbers.
TSLA at this moment is up nearly 5% for the day, and 13.37% in last 6months.
Musk Stans are stupid AF.
It really is a meme stock. The next headline can move it wildly into either direction, totally independent of the underlying business. Owning TSLA is basically gambling, and people love gambling.
The market is betting on corruption
Dude's practically shitting on himself and everything around him like some kind of horrifying lawn sprinkler of shit and his company only goes down 13%?!
Well, considering they have been caught buying their own cars to steal subsidies in Canada, who knows what those numbers even mean anymore? As long as it's going down it's on the right path.
Why would anyone think any stats they get from these traitors are real? They lie about literally EVERYTHING. Even if the numbers were amazing, they'd sweeten them. Lying/ Cheating/ Stealing/ Corruption is their brand.
The decline came despite deep discounts, zero financing and other incentives
And we’re only two years past “50% growth every year”, so that’s a huge difference from their forecast and despite them trying to fix it
I know it's disappointing. I guess European sales declines were off-set by increases in sales elsewhere.
Elon takes another L!
Lelon Musk? Elon Mulsk? I'm gonna stick to my usual name for him: Mecha-Karen
If only they used the time and resources that they wasted on developing the Cybertruck on an actually viable and affordable model
I can't imagine they spent a lot of time or money designing the cybertruck...
And it's still the best selling pickup truck... People who buy pickup EV don't give a fuck about it being a poor truck. Truly wild times, I thought Ford would demolish them but they are so far behind its laughable.
And it’s still the best selling pickup truck…
What?
They've sold like 47k total, and there was 10x that in Silverado sales in 2024 just in America...
And they're not even the best selling pickup truck in America.
What metric are you using?
The metric called EV pickup truck?
Yeah, leaving out EV was probably a bad choice then
Either your contextual reading skills are non existent or you didn't read past the 1st sentence.
Maybe it's your writing skill.
Could be, language barriers and all... Surely justifies the hostility, doesn't it? I'm convinced people understood what I meant and took it upon themselves to just be a jackass. I'm not even defending the CT, but I'm not going to twist reality and pretend like other (ev) pickup trucks are somehow outselling it.
There really was no hostility imo, but whatever. You keep thinking everyone is mean to you.
It would appear no one is siding with you, and only one person disagreed with me...
Likely you ..
So I understand you think what you meant was clear, but it would seem no one else agrees...
So maybe, just maybe, it's your fault
Really? Only 13%?
Maybe it’s a lagging indicator? Maybe sales in China picked up? Maybe the numbers have been finessed?
No way I will ever buy a car that is software first, can't even fix or maintain them yourself.
Chinas BYD will weakens teslas reach more than anything, and nobody is buying it at home, except ignorant douches for the truck.
sells are still to high,
Are you sure it's not because the cybertruck is awful? Because I think it might be partly because the cybertruck is awful.
They report model 3 and Y together and then "other" carrying legacy S, X and CT.
Nice
Damn, you think sales are bad now? Wait until we get another recession.
