This isn't exclusively a problem of the new administration, or the previous. All administrations since the late 20th century have been compliant in allowing the offshoring of most industry

Not super into cars but is there even any reason other than environmental friendliness to get an EV? Where I'm from, EVs are all wildly expensive compared to their combustion peers and they all frankly look really ugly to me. The coil whine of the EVs also drive me crazy.

And in the US we just block foreign options because it is gov policy to artificially support specific corporations.

I think it also has to do with the economy, not just nazi salutes. Its a bad job market, people dont have money, so luxary cars are not going to be attractive.

Also there is hardly any reason to buy a Tesla... Volvo recharge and others are better cars, made by actual car companies with a good reputation for quality.

You could just say, "you're right, I probably should have."

Try it sometime, it's nice.

The headline to me clearly is stating that people are not buying Teslas and are buying alternative Chinese based EVs instead. I think that anyone that's heard Elon's name over the past 6 months can read between the lines and understand the causation here.

Currently only proper options for EV is either Tesla, Korean EV's (KIA, Hyundai) or Chinese. European and japanese EV's are imo shit at the moment. Teslas I will avoid like plague, due to Nazis. KIA's and Hyundai's are so hard to get, so I am really considering getting BYD, Polestar or XPeng.

Root for better public transport and active cities instead of car dependency

Living in the boonies, I'm never going to get a bus going by every ten minutes so a solid market for good EVs is still what I root for.

Well - I would hope. But that's not the same as putting it in there is it.

"Tesla sales drop as EU consumers choose Chinese brands plus Musk is y'know WINK"

I mean, I can see why they didn't go with that one but still. There are plenty of people who don't understand Elmo is an out-and-out nazi, cozy with putin and Peter Thiel and will destroy the country as soon as possible. Not mentioning him and his drugged-out asinine ideas in the headline is a missed opportunity.

The title isn't there to tell the whole story though. It should give a high level summary and then the details are in the article. If you hypothetically put something like what you suggested, it still doesn't give all of the context, and the title would need to be longer to include the history of Musk, his drug use, his position with Tesla, etc, and you can't put that all in the title. I'm all for dunking on that Nazi whenever we can, but I personally don't think that the title of this article deserves any criticism, especially in the age of clickbait titles that don't give anything, this one is decently descriptive.
