Tesla has faced a similar slide in sales elsewhere in Europe as people protest against CEO Musk.

Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.

Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.

It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.

Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.

        Will removing him as CEO really matter? As long as he’s as heavily invested in the company as he is, its gains are his gains.

    The story of Elon will be a phenomenal one. Icarus af. He could have ended world hunger and much more, but decided to become a nazi cunt and ruin everything. Money can’t buy intelligence.
