New data has revealed a sharp reversal in Tesla’s fortunes in Queensland, with the slump attributed to a combination of market saturation and political fallout.

    Nothing to do with Musk, but everything to do with cheaper and actually good Chinese EVs flooding the market.

      It’s probably both but yeah the Chinese makes have made a huge dent. More importantly they’ve brought EVs to more families.

        It’s not both. If people bought cars based on political opinions of the companies owners then Tesla sales would be increasing over that timeframe here.

        Maybe but I’ve not heard of a single person say they won’t buy a Tesla because of Musk’s antics. There may be a few but I’m going with minuscule, not a cliff dive.

        Lot of nazi adjacent folks here in Australia, look at the rise and rise of ONP for example.

          Attributing the rise of one nation to “Nazis” is even dumber than the conclusion that musks political opinion causes people to not buy teslas.

            Well, I mean Pauline Hansons “there’s not a single good Muslim” comment… you know… isn’t that much of a stretch

            Edit: mind you these comments were made on public broadcaster, concerns me what conversations are had behind closed doors.

    Much cheaper to just get a swastika face tattoo. You will get the exact same reaction from people.
