Looks like there is no BOYCOT on Tesla models in Malaysia Reuters has just reported that Californians continued to be sour towards Tesla in the first quarter of 2025, pulling down the electric-vehicle maker's registrations by 15 percent as backlash against Elon Musk's company intensified in the state that has embraced EVs most across the United States. The drop-off means Tesla no longer accounts for a majority of the EV market share in the state, according to the California New Car Dealers Association (CNCDA). There have been relentless protests in many cities in California which is echoing the backlash in other countries and against Musk's involvement in U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and his embrace of far-right politics in Europe, a key factor behind Tesla's 13 percent drop in first-quarter deliveries globally.
