And Australia. Musk drove everyone in BYD's arms.
- jiggawatts 2y agoThe weak Aussie dollar and the low cost of BYD cars is what did that. Also, Tesla stopped selling the Model S here.
- decimalenough 2y agoNothing specific to Australia, there are no RHD versions of the new S/X anywhere in the world. But S/X sales were a rounding error compared to 3/Y anyway.
- threeseed 2y agoModel S stopped being sold here in 2023. In 2024, Tesla reported a 17% drop in Australia despite EV market growing.
- aswanson 2y agoI'm pretty sympathetic on protecting the country from CCP subsidized market capture, but at this point we need to let BYD sell here. It would lower vehicle prices and knock off tesla. Both of which need to happen.

- ulfw 2y agoand plenty of other great cars. Zeekr X looks tasty. So many choices Americans won't ever have because Musk owns that country now.
