Probably referring to the significant negative coverage of Musk’s efforts leading the so-called Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), the president has committed to buy a tesla via True Tuesday morning, declaring that Musk “” put him into play “to help our nation, and he does a fantastic job! … I’m going to buy a brand new Tesla tomorrow morning as a demonstration of confidence and support for Elon Musk. »»
Turning to the Cybertruck at the White House Tesla Walk-Around, the president proclaimed that the 3.3-ton bike was “the coolest design”. But given the way in which the truck is apparently subject to rust, and the fact that its multiple reminders have classified it worse than 91% of all 2024 vehicles, it may be wise that President Trump opted for model S.
That said, the president’s choice unfortunately had more than his just part of problems. The S model had 37 NHTSA SAFETY TEHING TO GOOD During its existence, more recently in January for a problem where certain models of the “computer print circuit card of technology can short-circuit, resulting in the loss of the image of the reversing camera”, increasing the risk of an accident.
Other reminders of the S model have included problems with airbags, potential problems with the support assistance function, defective door handles, deformed brake discs and in 2023 a voluntary recall for each of Tesla vehicles using the full self-conversion function. According to the NHTSA deposit At the time, problems did not understand a stop panel correctly; speeding, due to not detecting a road panel or because the driver set his car by default at faster speed; And make unexpected track changes to leave the lanes turning only when you go directly through an intersection.
It should be noted, however, that due to the growing complexity of cars manufactured today, Automobile reminders For many brands have has increased in recent yearsIncluding Mercedes, General Motors, BMW, Chrysler and Ford.
Musk hopes that such such battered presidential approval will reversed a recent drop in sales for the automotive brand. According to Kelley Blue BookTesla sold 43,650 electric vehicles in February, a decrease of almost 6% compared to the 46,262 sold the same month of last year. Globally, sales decreases are much worse, with falls of more than 75% in Europe and 65% in Australia during the first two months of the year. The United Kingdom is one of the few markets that fucks this trend, with the February sales of Tesla up 20% Compared to the same month of last year.
For some customers who are already part of the Tesla collective, the shame of being associated with the CEO of a brand that has made Nazi greetings and has approved the extreme right political party alternative for Germany is too much, and they are rebadging their vehicles With rival brand badges.
