UK Teslas sales up in Feb before new ‘25’ plates
While many people may have had Tesla orders with non-refundable deposits before the salute incident, there is no excuse for buying a Tesla now and supporting an actual Nazi.
I’m hoping I don’t see any Teslas with the new ‘25’ plate, but if I do I may have to mention something to the driver about what it now symbolises.

Looking at what just happened in Canada where they ‘sold’ 8600 in one weekend, it may be a case of 4000 Teslas registered in the UK but not necessarily ’sold’
Perhaps the new model should have different badge (TeSSla) and a waving arm instead of the right indicator, to match CEOs actions.
Or just replace the GB and EU stars with a swastika
