I'm definitely curious to see where this goes, I'm skeptical of the price, but I very much appreciate the simplicity of the dashboard. I have utterly no interest in a tablet dashboard.

I just like the concept: modular, easily wrappable, lower-tech, etc. The Maverick XL is $24k base, so they'll have to be pretty careful on the price!

I saw a Hummer EV driving around town, and that actually looked pretty nice. And about the same price as a CT. It's a chonk though with a curb weight of 10k pounds, lol.
For the safety of everyone outside the vehicle, I don't think people with standard passenger vehicles licenses should be able to drive around a 10k lb vehicle with poor site lines that can do 0-60 in some absurdly short of time.

People outside the vehicle? I have no idea what you are talking about.

But incorrectly attributes it to Musk's ignorance per the headline. It's more a little of column A (ignorance through arrogance that he thinks he's smart) and a lot of column B (racism).

Yes, the fact that it is non-white kids dying from the USAID cuts is his idea of a good eugenics program. Some people get a little rankled when I describe him as an aspiring racist mass murderer in the same league with the worst of the 20th century dictators but that is certainly his goal.

You can take the kid out of South Africa, but you can't take the apartheid out of the kid.

imo that's the crux of it. The renders were so much better lol

I really wish they had taken the design to Moab & had some off-roaders really beat on it. Look at what GM did with the Silverado’s 2500HD ZR2 “Bison” as a Next-Gen military vehicle:

That Tesla render just looks like a less cool rally fighter.

The free speech Advocate Elon did not lift a finger to fight the block order of Ekrem Imamoglu's X account by a court, who is under custody for 50 days with no solid evidence and the biggest competitor to Erdogan in the Presidential Race

My favorite was when the Free Speech Absolutist said his stance was that all speech that didn't violate the law should be permitted on Twitter and then promptly banned an account for posting the entirely legal and publicly available data of where his private jet was going.

Tesla continues it's sales decline in Europe by as much as 85% in some countries.. so stock is definitely gonna go up some more!

Btw apparently he named his cars:

Model S
Model 3
Model X
Model Y

So the next ones are likely gonna be:

Model 8
Model O
Model 0
Model B
Model 5

Or most likely the Musk Special Edition Model 55!

Given the rise of Hitler particles out of Elon, I was expecting the Model 14 and Model 88 to be the next releases.

More good news about that schwanzstucker, Elmo.

Just 885 cars sold ― Tesla facing a huge problem in this country, and it’s not China​




"So what exactly is going wrong with Tesla’s sales in Germany?​

The sales results for Tesla from last month are beyond disturbing and paints a picture of troubling trend. The KBA, German road traffic agency stated that Tesla’s sales from January to April in 2025 also dropped at an alarming rate of 60.4 percent in comparison to the previous year, sitting at a mere 5820 units.
Are Germans shunning electric cars? Far from it: While Tesla stock prices have plummeted, the German electric vehicle market as a whole is still growing tremendously. Take, for instance, newly registered electric vehicles in the country, which saw a whopping 53.5 percent increase in April compared to last year.

This contrast in the numbers shows that the main issue here isn’t a lack of demand for electric vehicles but rather specific challenges facing Tesla itself.
It’s also interesting to notice that Germany isn’t the only European market where Tesla is encountering challenges. In the UK, Tesla’s sales dropped to 512 vehicles in April, marking a 62% year-over-year decline. As for France, Tesla’s sales fell by 63%, despite an overall increase in EV market share.


These trends suggest that what is causing Tesla to have difficulties are not isolated incidents but instead a broader pattern that spreads across key European markets.

Factors contributing to Tesla’s decline in Germany​

Several factors have converged to impact Tesla’s performance in the German market. The first one could be the Increased Competition. The once unknown Chinese manufacturer BYD has been gaigning space in the European market, as have other brands, such as XPeng.
BYD saw its April sales in Germany increase more than eight time to 1,566 units. This scenario may indicate a growing preference for alternative EV brands between German consumers.

The controversies concerning the CEO of Tesla, which directly influence the branding image of the company, are perhaps the second reason that contributes to Tesla’s downfall in Germany. Public controversies surrounding Musk are not new and this, by now, is common knowledge.
Besides these controversies, Musk being a Trump administration member and supporting Germany’s far-right party AfD has also drawn extreme vitriol from the public. Protests have occurred because of these particular affiliations and the brand’s marketing image has since suffered tremendously, with some consumers regretting buying Teslas."
