    Harvard is now prohibited from admitting international students. These students are a huge source of income for the university. In the fight against science, Trump is pulling out all the stops.


    Tesla's revenue in Europe has literally halved compared to a year ago. BYD (China) saw its revenue in Europe increase by 169%.


    Things are not looking good in the government bond markets. The interest rate on U.S. government bonds is consequently rising. Investors are not keen to buy these securities. This is bad news for interest rates.

    Who told you that? Tesla has been holding production in the Berlin factory for two weeks while they upgraded their factory to the new, refreshed Model Y, so obviously they couldn't *deliver* as many cars as the comparable time last year, but their revenue is not, and has never been, "halved".

    Hi Björn,

    Tesla's revenue in Europe has literally halved compared to a year ago.

    Who told you that? Tesla has been holding production in the Berlin factory for two weeks while they upgraded their factory to the new, refreshed
    Model Y, so obviously they couldn't *deliver* as many cars as the comparable time last year, but their revenue is not, and has never been, "halved".

    Maybe it's not "revenue" in a strict financial accounting sense, but sales in Europe have dropped significantly since last year.

    Here are some links and quotes:

    https://www.jato.com/resources/media-and-press-releases/byd-outsells-tesla-in-europe-for-the-first-time-as-registrations-surge-in-april
    "Tesla reported another monthly drop in April, with total volumes down 49% year on year."

    Carscoops (May 7, 2025): "Tesla's European sales are, to put it lightly, in freefall... In April, the company sold just 885 vehicles in [Germany], down a staggering 45.9% compared to the same month last year. So far this year, Tesla has sold 5,820 vehicles in Germany, marking a 60.4% drop from 2024." It also notes a 62% drop in the UK.

    Politico.eu (March 3, 2025), citing ACEA data: "The company's sales in Europe declined 50 percent in January year-over-year."

    ArenaEV (May 3, 2025): "Across five key European markets that provide daily car registration updates, Tesla's sales are down approximately 50% so far compared to the start of the second quarter of 2024." It also notes that Tesla's Q1 2025 European sales plummeted by 37%.

    As I explained: While the changeover of Model Y lines across all four of their factories led to the loss of several weeks of production in Q1, the ramp of the New Model Y continues to go well.

    When all four factories make a changeover at the same time, this is what happens. Especially on a continent where the Model Y is the only one produced. You don't ramp up production of a new model over night.
