It's been a rocky year for Tesla's core car business. We'll have to wait until January to learn whether Elon Musk's automaker pulled out a year of growth in 2024, but that seems unlikely. Tesla's performance is looking particularly bleak in Europe, where, as we reported today, its sales dropped by around 40% in November. To be sure, Tesla is far from the only car brand that's struggling in Europe. And it's still a force to be reckoned with in EVs. But it's becoming clearer by the day that Tesla needs new models if it wants to keep growing. Also in today's edition of The Update: InsideEVs' guide to charging etiquette, a must-read resource for not pissing off fellow electric-car owners. Plus, former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn weighs in on the reported Honda-Nissan merger, and Tesla Cybertrucks are piling up on used-car lots. Have a great weekend, folks. We'll catch you next week. — Tim Levin, Senior Reporter |
