  • That's bad enough, but it's actually worse.Problem with that chart is that it assumes USA is a democracy and the press is actually independent, but in reality USA is as much an oligarchy as a democracy, and viewed by that standard, the majority of the press is owned by the same ruling class that control the government.

    And that would make USA more like for instance Turkey.As I mentioned before, they've managed to keep up the appearance of a free press way more than actually being a free press.Democrats may criticize Republicans and vice versa, but when Democrats began talking about taxing the rich, some key press leaderships were quickly changed to more Republican leaning.

    Actual press freedom in USA is dead.

  • Considering Model Y was only 2.8% of sales, then with a 20% bigger drop than the market in general, it would probably have been about 25% higher, speculating that model 3 would add another 1.5% that would be (2.8+1.5) x 1.25 = 5.4% marketshare before this latest drop.So with a total drop of about 70%, discounting Tesla it would probably be about 67-68%. It wouldn't for instance be less than 65%.

  • That won't cut it, Elon Musk still has control of the board, and he is still the biggest stock holder.

    Tesla stock is not valued on being a car company, but valued on insane ideas that some of their other products will be way bigger than Tesla cars, despite those products either don't work, or has gone almost nowhere for years.

    Tesla as a company is almost certainly dead, and will most likely be broken up in a few years, and the stock be worth less than a tenth what it is now.

    But in the meantime, Elon Musk continues to do huge damage to democracy with the money he has from Tesla.If you want to own stock in a company that is actually doing what Tesla is claiming to do, I think Hyundai would be a way better bet, Hyundai owns Boston Dynamics, and their robots actually work.

  • Once upon a time, there were rules to keep the press independent. All those rules are gone.And now the term free press has become a joke in USA. The press is 100% controlled by the 1%, the press that isn't bought by them, is only allowed to exist as long as they don't bother the 1% too much, and kept running to make an appearance of a traditional free press.

  • Trump: "Canada lives because of the United States."

    That is so disgusting, and very telling about the way Trump thinks. Unfortunately a lot of Americans think like that, might makes right.But what we see today is that Trumps sociopathic methods to politics are rejected by the world, same as Putin is rejected by Ukraine and the coalition of the willing.

    We will stand up to bullies, even if we are smaller. And many of the biggest per capita helpers of Ukraine are the smallest countries.

    USA is digging their own grave behaving like they do now, while when they were trustworthy and about cooperation and alliances, USA was the mightiest power in the world. That ship has sailed now, USA will never again take the position they had before Trump was elected the first time.

    Canada is welcome to join EU IMO. But they are of course also welcome to stay independent, whatever way that goes, Europe is all for mutually beneficial cooperation with Canada. There are no demands that Canada needs to pay EU for EU to be nice to Canada.Cooperation is good, Canada and EU both know that. Most sane leaders do. Only authoritarian sociopathic governments want to be bribed to cooperate. But they may destroy you even if you bribe them.

  • I absolutely agree they shouldn't be. There are way to many safety issues with Tesla, and they shouldn't be legal to sell in their current configuration.

  • I suppose people who are fascists or don't give a shit or are extremely ignorant.

  • Yes that is true, but this trend started already late 2024, and in 2025 Tesla sales were consistently 50% below 2024. Even before Greenland became an issue.Sweden, Germany and France have had similar decline to Denmark in Tesla sales. And finally sales in Norway are declining for Tesla too. IDK why, but for some reason Tesla remained a darling in Norway longer than for any other European country.But apparently the bubble is bursting in Norway now:https://www.carscoops.com/2026/02/tesla-sales-collapse-evs-january/

  • Admittedly EV sales dropped 70% because of changes to the tax benefits.But still Tesla declined among the other brands, after for the longest time keeping their market share in Norway pretty steady while declining across the rest of Europe.

    For comparison to the 83 cars sold by Tesla, VW ID.3 sold 299 cars, and the Tesla model Y was only ranked 6th. That's how much behind Tesla is now, from its previous leading position.

    Congratulation Norway for finally waking up to the fact that Tesla cars are actually pretty bad, with 45% of 4 year old model Y failing the mandatory safety check in Denmark. So you might as well buy a better car, and as a bonus not support Elon Musk fascism.

    Tesla’s Sales Collapsed By Nearly 90% In The Land Of EVs

    www.carscoops.com /2026/02/tesla-sales-collapse-evs-january/
  • To put that into concrete numbers, VW sold 274,278 EVs to Tesla’s 236,357. And that’s just the VW brand itself—the automaker also owns Skoda (in 4th place, with 171,703 sales), Audi (5th place, 153,845 sales), Cupra (15th place, 79,269 sales), and Porsche (21st place, 32,715 sales).

    274,278+171,703+153,845+79,269+32,715 = 711,813711,813 / 236,357 = 3,01

    So VW group has 3 times the sales in Europe that Tesla has. That's a bit more than "slipped behind".Even main VW brand by itself is almost 14% higher than Tesla!

    In Denmark with 70% EV sales, No Tesla model is even in top 10 anymore! And that's despite Tesla basically only sell 2 models!

  • Canada is way better than just 2 places better than UAE.We had a woman recently jailed in UAE for months, because she was divorced here in Denmark as a Dane living in Denmark.But her husband was a muslim, and filed a complaint in UAE while she was on holiday there. And she was arrested for being divorced!!!

    Yes definitely very safe. 🤣🤣🤣

    I have to puke every time I hear women or minorities praise Dubai or anything UAE. It's a shithole dictatorship kept in check with religious fanaticism. 🤢🤮

  • Only in your head. I have no idea why you are upvoted, safety is no the same as terrifying.Most countries have safety indexes for traveling to them as tourists, what so strange about making one for LGBT, and why do you feel like degrading it?

  • USA is a very violent country, and I suspect you are right. Anecdotally the decades of refusal for stricter federal gun regulations indicate that very many Americans want violence.

  • There are lots of Americans I like very much. USA has some very exceptional people and many good people.Unfortunately they are not the ones in power, and the ones in power are not just a little bit bad and a little bit selfish.They are lead Trump who is a flaming malignant narcissist, with a White House filled with Sociopaths. It's an absolutely insane government that doesn't give a shit about causing harm or breaking up old alliances if they think they can profit from it.

    As gravitas_deficiency wrote, the US government is forcing our hand, and we can't treat USA like 2 countries, we have to treat it as 1 country. Last time with Trump we waited it out, but Trump has made that an impossible option this time. And the American people has made it an impossible option by electing Trump twice.

  • Yes I heard from LGBT people who have been to Thailand, I have never been there myself.So quit the completely baseless innuendo.

  • only if you believe Russia was a positive force once in its history.

    I don't, but they had a chance to change for the better when the Russian Federation was formed. And for a while it looked like they would, until Putin completely ruined it.

  • I know it's not all American, but unfortunately we have to treat USA as a collective, when the collective is acting like an enemy.I hope somehow USA will come to their senses, and not elect a raving lunatic again, after a period of sanity.

  • I am not, I was misinformed, by what OP wrote, to think we were talking about actors that were visibly 18+ years old.I only later found out we are talking about Japanese cartoons, which traditionally have that child like look.I absolutely do not condone sexualization of children.

  • Thailand should definitely be in top 10!

    From what I have heard, that seems right.
