Tesla registrations crash 17% in Europe as BEV market surges 14%

Tesla's EU+EFTA+UK registrations fell 17% in January 2026 — down from already weak 2025 numbers. Without Tesla, BEV registrations would be up 16%.

Advice for all the poor clickworkers and AI agents who are trying to create accounts on half-open fediverse servers:

  • Do not begin your reasons for joining with the words, “I’m a genuine Fediverse user …
  • Do not end the with, “… interested in technology, digital culture, and open communities. I’d like to join fedifreu.de to exchange ideas respectfully, follow diverse perspectives, and be part of a friendly, decentralized social space that values openness and community.
  • Do not used a Gmail address.

    If you want to keep your registrations open, but resist botnets, you may like to block all mailservers resolving to smtp.oneb.net

    I desperately seek some workgroup to join, where we would exchange the bogus mailserver lists on daily basis, so we can prevent even registration attempts.

    Recently, these domains I am pretty sure were used by the botnet:

    file2drive.com
    lutech.uk
    upphim.net
    cloneemail.com
    dubokutv.com
    cucadas.com
    botgetlink.com
    tsmtp.org
    adn3t.com
    kenhphim.net
    soc123.net
    emaxasp.com
    adviseity.com
    roratu.com
    mucate.com
    tinpho.com
    datadudi.com
    okiae.com

    The botnet no longer cares exclusively about Ukraine, pro Russia, but it does lot of random things. The copied fragments of auto-translated texts include labels of various navigation links, so it is immediate obvious, that the content is machine generated. Also, the IP addresses repeat, so they don't have quite unlimited IP pool.

    Most instances solve this problem by limiting registrations, but I am advocating rather for cautious growth of Fediverse, like eg. 10 times of current size. I was told, that "cool things don't need advertising", so I suggest: let's make Fediverse cool. Instead of banning more or less stable, determined and closed social bubbles from interacting, let's rather learn to cooperate and trust each other while hunting botnets like this...
