It's been noted and pointed out many times before, but Trump Republicans are often really, really weird people. The world's richest man wants to propagate his supposedly superior genes but apparently prefers doing it via sperm banks and IVF instead of the old-fashioned natural way. You just know that in private he's got blowup sex dolls stashed in his mansions and yachts around the world. The stories and articles about Trumper's hypocritical and often just strange private lives are never ending.
 

  • Tesla's UK car sales dropped 62 per cent in April 2025 compared to April 2024, the lowest in over two years.
  • This decline mirrors similar drops in other European markets, despite rising overall EV demand.
  • The company is launching a redesigned Model Y in June to address competition from European and Chinese EV makers.
  • Tesla's April sales in the UK totalled 536 vehicles, down from 1,404 in April 2024, resulting in a 9.3 per cent year-to-date EV market share.

Tesla is in deep trouble in Europe. The electric vehicle maker, which once dominated EV sales in the region, is facing sales declines of more than 50 percent in France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, and the UK. Sales in Germany weren't quite as bad—they fell by 46 percent in April, with slightly smaller decreases in Portugal and Spain. Only Italy and Norway saw any kind of sales growth.

The UK has been one of Tesla's biggest markets in Europe, and it's seeing something of an EV boom, with 8.1 percent more BEVs registered in April 2025 than the year before, even as overall car sales have dropped by 10.4 percent year on year. But Tesla's sales fell by 62 percent—the automaker registered just 512 cars all month. For context, 120,331 new cars were registered in the UK last month, of which 24,558 were BEVs.

In Germany, the overall car market fared much better, with new registrations decreasing by just 0.2 percent in April. Of those new cars, 45,535 were BEVs—a 53.5 percent increase year over year. In the context of those rising BEV sales, Tesla's 46 percent year on year decline should have alarm bells ringing.

...

Some other European countries are smaller markets for Tesla but have seen even more significant sales declines. In Sweden, Tesla sales dropped 81 percent. In the Netherlands, sales were down 73.8 percent. In Denmark, sales fell by 67 percent, and in France, they fell by 59 percent.
