According to Kelley Blue Book , Tesla shifted 43,650 EVs in February , a decrease of nearly 6 percent from the 46,262 sold in the same month last year .

It's far from the crash seen in much of the rest of the world, with drops of over 75 percent in Europe in the first two months of the year .

Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas even suggests the downturn in sales is all part of a key turning point for Tesla , as it moves beyond a car company into a robotics-focused behemoth.

Sheryl Crow posted an Instagram video wishing good riddance to her Tesla as it was driven away on a flatbed truck.

Political scientist Erica Chenoweth , a political scientist at Harvard University , has studied over 300 modern uprisings worldwide and found that change usually becomes inevitable when just 3.5 percent of a population join a movement.

Many ex-Tesla owners have shared their reasons for ditching their cars.

Tesla 's share price is currently 263 , down from the 480s following Trump ’s inauguration.

It would take 140 years to recoup an investment at Tesla 's current earnings rate.

Tesla 's CEO has lost more than $100 billion from his paper fortune, and if Tesla tanks, he'll lose a whole bunch more.
