Article title:  
_2025 EV Sales So Far: GM Wins, Tesla Loses_

Yes GM is doing well:  
_General Motors reported a 94 percent increase in EV sales for the same period, selling **31,887 EVs.** _

There must be some concern at Tesla.  
_Tesla’s quarterly **sales plunged 13 percent, delivering 336,681 vehicles** through the first three months of 2025._

OK 13% drop not good. Still EV 336,681 delivered. No other manufacturer is even close.  
If Elon leaves the political arena and can, **a BIG IF** , keep his yap closed this is a salvageable situation.

Things are less sanguine in the EU.

> The Volkswagen Group more than doubled its deliveries of battery-electric cars in Europe in the first quarter to over 150,000 from 74,400 in the same time last year, the carmaker said today, in another sign that EV demand is picking up.

- Major declines in sales were reported in France, Sweden, Denmark, and Holland.
- However, Tesla sales have rebounded in countries like Norway, Spain, Portugal, and Italy.

I think its time for Elon to go. He has done so much damage to the brand. I want to vote him out.
