  • Myths about EVs and Fires - How dangerous in strata are they really?

  • Excellent use of Goomba

  • Chinese state media amplifies viral Tesla failure amid 45% sales crash

    Jump

  • It sounds like this is a change (at least for Tesla), that Chinese state media should report so negatively about Tesla.

    On the other side of the Pacific, I don't expect that fox news is particularly flattering about Chinese EVs. But China is a massive market for Tesla, and it has stood up well while the European market has cratered for them. So this change in stance is potentially significant.

    Or, it could be just a single article that we shouldn't read too much into.

  • Tesla Sales Down 55% in UK, 58% in Spain, 59% in Germany, 81% in Netherlands, 93% in Norway vs. 2024

  • The FY2025 vs FY2024 numbers were plenty damning. Comparing January 2026 to previous Januaries is kinda silly given how much monthly fluctuation there is, and how few markets actually report on Monthly numbers

  • This post is not about ICE or PHEV. And definitely not about comparing ICE to PHEV.

  • Despite anti-Musk protests, Tesla remains best-selling car model in CA by a wide margin for 2025

    Jump

  • Overall Tesla Sales in CA (By Unit) 2023: 238,589 2024: 202,865 2025: 179,656

    I guess it's hard to see the amount of Teslas that weren't bought, which might otherwise have been bought were it not for the whole "I hate Musk" thing. But while EV sales were growing in CA, Tesla sales were falling.

  • Tesla always sells poorly in the first month of a quarter in the UK. I don't really understand why, but it's very much a thing

  • I pay £0.08/kwh in UK. Just saying. I'm sure haulage firms in UK will find a way to access the cheaper rates that the rest of us are using every day.

  • BYD outsells Tesla 10-to-1 in Australia as Chinese EVs dominate January sales

    Jump

  • Hopefully it's sustained but in general it's a bad idea to look at Monthly Data because it's more volatile than quarterly data - heavily affected by shipping and OEM registration practices, especially with Tesla. In UK Tesla always starts a quarter slow and finishes stronger.

    Edit: here you can see what I mean: generally 3000 vehicles sold in the first month of a quarter, then 10 times that by the end of the quarter

  • In UK, in my experience: ZapMap / Electroverse / ABRP are commonly used. Even Google reviews are used for rating charge stations.

  • It's also true that explosions are far more likely to occur in an ICE fire than EV fire - EVs tend to smoke and then slowly burn to a more ferocious fire, but in general provide more warning and time to escape than ICE fires (as well as being less likely to happen in the first place). ICE fuel is designed to explode (especially gas / petrol).
