Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.
It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.
Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.
OK, so what if I as a Dane are talking about people the leave their country that isn’t Denmark to settle in a country that also isn’t Denmark?
In that case it would depend how you said it. Fred emigrated from UK to France. Or Fred imigrated to Italy from Spain. In normal everyday speak, ‘emigrated to’ would be the more normal way to say it.
But I can’t be worried about my emigrant grocer, because he would no longer be there. The imigrant grocer on the other hand…
OK thanks, I thought I could use emigrant as a more objective option. Also the key point to me was always that for some reason they had to or chose to leave their home country.
It’s kind of irrelevant that they came here as opposed to somewhere else in that context.
But I guess I’ll just have to conclude English kind of sucks in this regard.
Of course English sucks. What do you expect from a language made up of bits and bobs from other languages?
