We are grateful for european car safety regulations for keeping this deathtrap off our streets here.

Could be in the running for a @teslatakedown.com award!

Doesn't matter if there are two or twenty of you, the same number of drivers pass by and get reminded what an odious, parasitic, hate-baiting, little fascist, Elon is.

Much love and support from across the pond. 🫶

I found you post by also mis-typing Tesla as Telsa.

So, it seems that some Model Y SwastiCars sold in the UK might be made in their Berlin factory. We can't find anything conclusive, so for the avoidance of doubt we have updated our infographic below.

You don't need to be a rocket scientist to know Elon can't be relied upon.

Your Tank vs Tesla should surely be in the running for an award?

Well done Norway, but in future, could you please decarbonise your fleet of cars by buying something other than a Tesla? Better makes and models now exist, and have the added benefit of not funding Elon and his "hobbies"

Some of them seem to think they are budding tech bros who have somehow discovered the matrix by buying a shitty car.

When in reality.....

Perhaps we could make a similar info-graphic highlighting the far better options on sale in America?

Anyone able to help?

Good point. Walking would smash all the metrics, except maybe range, on one charge of Wheatabix.

As a wise philosopher once said:

A quick update on Tesla sales in the UK

📉 Down 5.45% this year

Doesn't sound like much, but this is against a backdrop of a surge in electric vehicle sales this year.

📈 BYD sales up 492%
📈 Omoda up 21,422%
📈 Polestar up 151%

Tesla is massively losing share of the BEV market.

Nice to see that no Swasticars are eligible.

The UK government's electric vehicle grant scheme introduced in August has already boosted sales. Very sensibly, the grant only covers smaller, cheaper BEVS, that meet minimum emissions standards, warranties, and performance criteria.

Obama here. As the chariot wing of @teslatakedownuk.bsky.social I am ready to fight, or to be more accurate, transport Simon to the fight, and bring the remains back.

Sorry for the delayed condolences, but RIP Jane Goodall. An amazing, compassionate person who spent her life trying to protect our planet. Of course this means Elon attacked her!

Elon Loses Again!
