Tesla’s European sales figures don’t bode well for Q1 deliveries tomorrow

Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company releases first-quarter delivery numbers before the market opens tomorrow, but Tesla sales numbers from France, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands are out today. And they don’t look good for the firm’s promised return to growth this year.

In March, Tesla registrations were down for the third straight month in a number of European markets, for a quarterly decline of 41% in France, 55% in Sweden, 12.5% in Norway, 56% in Denmark, and 49.7% in the Netherlands, Reuters reports. Europe is Tesla’s biggest market after China and the US.

A Tesla-compiled list of analyst estimates suggests the company will deliver 377,592 electric vehicles in Q1, a year-over-year decline of more than 2%.

Tesla’s stock is up 1.6% premarket, though it’s down 35.8% year to date.

Amazon expands low-price Haul section to 14 new markets as Amazon Bazaar app

Amazon is expanding its low-cost Amazon Haul experience to a new stand-alone app called Amazon Bazaar.

Amazon launched its Temu and Shein competitor a year ago as a US mobile storefront on its website and has since expanded to about a dozen markets. Consumers could purchase many items for under $10, as long as they were willing to stomach longer delivery times.

Now, thanks to success in those places, the programming is expanding to 14 new markets — Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Nigeria — with a new app and name: Amazon Bazaar.

“Both Amazon Haul and Amazon Bazaar deliver the same ultra low-price shopping experience, with different names chosen to better resonate with local language preferences and cultures,” the company said in a press release.

After watching small drones reshape the battlefield in Ukraine, the US Army has announced plans to buy 1 million drones over the next two to three years, according to a report from Reuters.

The military threat of China’s dominance of the quadcopter-style drone industry is also driving the decision. But China’s control over much of the supply chain for drones, including rare earth magnets, sensors, and microcontrollers, will make it much harder for American drone manufacturers to catch up.
