Tesla sales in Europe plunged for a fifth month in a row in May, a blow to investors who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now. The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said the drop of 28% last month in 30 European countries came even as the overall market for electric vehicles expanded sharply. The poor showing comes after Tesla's billionaire CEO promised a “major rebound” was coming soon. Musk had angered Europeans by embracing far right-wing politicians in elections there. Investors dumped Tesla shares Wednesday, pushing the prices down 4% in early afternoon trading.
90 percent sales drop!

If we were to judge brands by the wartime history of their origin countries, I'd be in trouble. I've owned (counting on fingers) 7 BMWs and 7 Volkswagens--not to mention, 3 Hondas.
And of course, I have despised He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named #2 as long as I have been aware of him. So I have been #NeverTesla since day one.
