34 percent depreciation after one year and 6,000 miles
Multiple signs from the last two quarters indicate that sales of Tesla vehicles are declining more sharply than ever. The company is struggling to sell the Cybertruck in particular, as its perceived value has started to plunge.
In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla saw the biggest sales decline in its history. A January report showed that its year-over-year sales fell by half in Europe overall and by 70% in Germany despite rising sales of other EV brands. In February, sales dropped by 49% in China as the company reported its lowest numbers since 2022. Last month, Chinese EV automaker BYD outsold Tesla in Europe for the first time.
It is a good deal now but I am afraid people will throw stone at me.
Give all the issue they have, both safety and build quality, it’s still a bad deal. Driving a death trap that can be defeated by a large puddle isn’t worth getting for free.
People will shit talk them yet no one can face the fact a model 3 from 2018 is still ahead in features and is still one of the safest cars on the planet…
That’s the fucked up part, Internet will bend the reality to fit its ideology. To me, there’s nothing more offputting. My model 3 from 2021 is doing 4.3 miles per KW at 82k miles doing nothing but 70 mph on dual carriage way
This is from today. You go drive a Ford, you’re not getting these figures RIGHT NOW in brand new dsmo car. No one does phone app the way Tesla does. At most you can use NFC to open it, but the wireless entry? Yeah, it’s not even up for debate. And we’re not talking about the wireless key that can be “hacked” by a wire and car stolen… Or should we talk how charging costs £0.24 on tesla super chargers vs £0.79 for everyone else literally on the other side of the car park? No? Those things are irrelevant now? BUT THE CYBERTRUCK THO!!
As you can see, I’m triggered by stupidity. I simply cannot find a sane place online. But in person? People are still asking me about it. I had 2 bad comments in the time I had it. One from some kid wanna be petrol head how all EVs are shit, unprovoked, I don’t even know him or even looked at him and another jealous twat, I’m sure it wasn’t because of the car but aimed at me…
That’s it. That is the real world out there. Lemmy, reddit, bluesky etc are just echo chambers.
Far from safe and riddled with defects. The cheap door handle design alone to skimp on the cost of a few latches making them death traps, coupled with the laminate glass on every window so you can’t break out is ludicrous. Skipping out on lidar or radar to rely solely on optical safety sensors is babytown frolics, when proven multi-sensor designs that can actually see better than humans already exist.
They also don’t locate the brake lines in proper locations, causing them to prematurely rust out and break, but who cares about being able to stop, right?
It is hilarious watching the glitchy car UI constantly misidentify objects as it drives by them, though.
Who cares about a phone app? They are supposed to be a thing you drive.
Cars designed via broken software design principles is the dumbest thing ever.
Hope you are able to get something safer once you realize how terrible they are, before it hurts or kills you.
Cool Googling brah. The usual bullshit of gathering articles, because no other car has ever had an issue… Those crazy folks doing crash testing must be clearly paid off and EU just giving all of this a pass… Yeah, they surely are happy to let this sell.
While you’re at it, what colour is the sky in your world?
You’ve addressed nothing from my comment but ridiculed something that’s so advanced, you have zero comparison. The usual behaviour. It’s pathetic really.
The irony…
I’m sure those internet points mAke you feel like quite the winner. Pretty much all your remarks and “rhetorts” are from the same playbook.
Come back when you have something unique to say. Or don’t. I doubt you’re capable of self-thinking.
…and again…
Safest car in the world that can’t even avoid a fucking Looney Tunes wall. Sure.
