What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.

Tesla's stock price has little to do with Tesla going bankrupt. This is about Musk himself. He's heavily invested in Tesla and as Tesla's stock goes down his net worth and power goes down.

What it does make difficult for Tesla is to raise money through investment.

Tesla's problem with all of this is brand damage. Best thing Tesla could do now to recover the brand is remove Musk as CEO. However, as the largest investor he's almost self-appointed.

It is less about portability on sales and more about the ability to drive R&D.

The technology will continue to improve. If they fall behind, that will be what really tanks sales.

They have a lot of cash but they need to keep feeding the R&D on batteries, charging, software, and cost reduction tech.

Their biggest protection is tariffs since fairly large markets are locking out all their real competition. As long as those are in place, they will be able to soak up much of the EV demand.

Is turkey considered part of Europe?

Asking as an American so I understand this.

Edit: thank you everybody that replied and my question is asked incorrectly. I meant if it was part of the EU.

Turkey has asked to join the EU already. It was denied last time but something tells me next time they may be very welcome instead.
(hint: Turkey has the second biggest army in NATO right after the USA and has the most active/quickly growing weapon/armament industry in Europe too)

Q1 vs Q1 Tesla is up in China, it was something tiny like less than 2% though where q1 2024 was already low.

They're still down pretty much everywhere else though.

Generally speaking, picking individual months is pretty meaningless.

China needs to tariff tesla heavily to protect their companies.

Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.

And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.

Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).

Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.
