Tesla Faces Backlash Due to Elon Musk's Actions, Loses Customer Rossmann

TapTechNews August 7th news, Tesla has recently caused controversy due to the words and deeds of its CEO Elon Musk, and directly led to the loss of some of its enterprise customers. Rossmann, one of the largest pharmacy chains in Europe, announced today that it will immediately stop purchasing Tesla vehicles for the company's fleet.

According to TapTechNews, when Tesla was first founded, it took on the mission of 'accelerating the arrival of electric transportation', and later expanded to 'accelerating the arrival of sustainable energy'. However, in recent years, Musk's commitment to Tesla's mission has been questioned. He has sold tens of billions of dollars worth of Tesla stocks to acquire Twitter, dissolved the Tesla charging team that once built the world's best electric vehicle charging network, cancelled the low-cost electric vehicle project, and publicly supported an American political candidate who goes against Tesla's mission and calls for the cancellation of the incentive policy for electric vehicles, and Tesla was once one of the biggest beneficiaries of this policy.

Many former Tesla fans said that they no longer intend to support Tesla due to Musk's lack of support for the company's mission.

In the press release issued by Rossmann company today, due to Musk's remarks not in line with the values represented by Tesla products, the company will no longer purchase Tesla vehicles. Company spokesman Raul Rossman said that Musk has made no secret of his support for Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called climate change a hoax, and this attitude is in sharp contrast to Tesla's mission of protecting the environment through the production of electric vehicles.

Rossmann had previously purchased many Tesla cars as part of its fleet electrification plan. The company said it will keep the purchased Tesla vehicles for considerations of'sustainability and resource conservation', but will not purchase any more Tesla vehicles.
