In a surprising twist, some Tesla owners are swapping their car logos for those of Toyota, Mazda, and other brands. Why? To dodge vandalism linked to the CEO's image. While some see it as a joke, others believe it reflects growing concern over Tesla's public perception.
Or "maybe they just want to improve its resale value." Tesla owners are disguising their cars in a bizarre new way: 'Someone's afraid of getting vandalized' first appeared on The Cool Down.
Once considered at the forefront of innovation, Tesla is facing huge consumer backlash for Elon Musk's controversial behaviour.
Tesla's European deliveries continue to circle the drain. This includes Norway, which is down 48% year-over-year. Despite this, some analysts feel that Tesla's stock is under-valued, though it trades at a price-to-earnings ratio that's already 900% higher than Toyota.
One of several ways in which Tesla generates revenue is by selling emissions, or carbon credits, to other manufacturers. Tesla gets credit from a governing body (the EU, in this case) for every electric car it sells.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued multiple recalls last week, including notices for over 375,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.
As Elon Musk's political views continue to divide drivers, a number of Tesla owners have tried to disguise their cars.
Tesla is recalling 376,241 vehicles due to a potential crash risk. The carmaker recalled its 2023 Model 3 and Model Y cars sold in the U.S. because if voltage exceeds the car’s limit, it can cause it to lose power steering when it slows down to 0 mph and potentially cause an accident.
Tesla is seeing a 44.4-percent drop in car sales in Norway in 2025, as VW and Toyota take the lead in the electric vehicle market in the Nordic country.
Concerns about potential over-investment in artificial intelligence are also weighing on the electric car maker.
