Denmark's largest construction company returns keys of Tesla cars, says: We as a company have chosen to ...

Time of India18-05-2025
A Danish construction company, Tscherning, has returned its entire corporate fleet of Tesla vehicles, citing Elon Musk as the reason, a report claims. The company's decision reportedly reflects a trend of declining Tesla sales and brand damage in Europe linked to the Tesla CEO's political involvement. Consumer concerns have allegedly increased following the world's richest man's political inclination. This has led to both reduced sales and even current Tesla owners returning or selling their vehicles to distance themselves from the brand. Corporate sales, which are a major source of sales for the EV maker in Europe, are also reportedly affected by this trend.
Tscherning, similar to the European pharmacy chain Rossmann, which sold its Tesla fleet last year, electrified its corporate fleet with Tesla vehicles. Recently, the company announced that it has now returned all of them and even shared a video showing the same.

What Tscherning said about returning all its Tesla vehicles
In a statement to Electrek, Tscherning said:
'At Tscherning, we not only decide how we drive, but also who we drive with. That's why we've chosen to hand over the keys to our Tesla company cars – not because Tesla has become a bad car, but in light of Elon Musk's political commitment and the opinions he has publicly expressed (and which are increasingly hard to overlook), we as a company have chosen to say 'thank you for the ride.'

The company stated that it doesn't want to be 'associated with the values and political direction that currently accompany the Tesla brand.' Instead, it will purchase 'European alternatives' to Tesla vehicles.
The Electrek report also claims that Tesla's situation in Europe is not sustainable, and there may be layoffs and store closures. Although the new Model Y was available throughout the quarter, Q2 results are similar to Q1, which saw a 40% year‑over‑year decline. The Q1 and Q2 2025 figures are lower than every quarter in the past three years, the report shared this graph to claim.

Meanwhile, with corporate fleets being returned and current owners selling their cars, purchasing a used Tesla may be more cost‑effective given the current pricing, the Electrek report adds.

Bitcoin hits record high above $124,000

Bitcoin hit a record high on Thursday during early Asian trading, surpassing $124,000, driven by favourable U.S. legislation and a rise in U.S. equities. The cryptocurrency rose above its previous July record, briefly exceeding $124,500 before retreating. US stocks ended higher Wednesday, with the S&P 500 index and the tech-heavy Nasdaq reaching new heights this week, contributing to the cryptocurrency's rise. Bitcoin's value has recently soared, fuelled by U.S. regulatory changes under U.S. President Donald Trump, a strong backer of the crypto sector. Its price has also been boosted by large holders of cryptocurrency, referred to as "whales". "The crypto market is enjoying a period of highly favourable fundamentals," said Samer Hasn, senior market analyst at "President Donald Trump has moved to end restrictions that previously prevented banks from doing business with companies flagged for reputational risk concerns, a category in which crypto firms were often unfairly placed," he added. Trump may also be inclined to "accelerate the integration of cryptocurrencies into the national financial system and lift additional restrictions, given his and his family's growing involvement in the sector", Hasn said. Trump's media group and Tesla, the electric carmaker owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk, are among an increasing number of companies buying huge amounts of bitcoin.
