Chinese brand BYD saw more pure electric car registrations in the continent than Elon Musk’s EV brand in April, according to new data.

Europeans are buying fewer Teslas than before despite a growing demand for electric cars, according to a study published Tuesday, in keeping with a trend seen in recent months.

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association said that just 5,475 Tesla cars were sold in April, down 52.6% from the same month last year.

In the first four months of this year, Tesla sales were down 46.1% when compared with the first four months last year.

      Contracts are meaningless if you can’t meet your promises. Starship is already supposed to be used for things like the Artemis moon missions. But to do that they not only need to get past these recent failures, but perfect in-orbit refueling as well. That alone will likely take a few years of testing.
