2. Vandalism, Weak Sales Hit Tesla in Australia and New Zealand
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - When Australian Dick Friend bought a Tesla (TSLA.O) in 2015, he was so impressed with its environmental credentials and performance that he and his wife bought two more of the electric vehicles, plus shares in the Elon Musk-led company.
Now, however, he is selling his Tesla stock and will not replace one of his cars, wrecked in an accident last year, citing his objections to Musk's right-wing tilt and his growing role in the administration of Donald Trump.
"The cars are brilliant, but we don't like the direction of the owner and we're voting with our feet," said Friend, who splits time between homes in Hobart and Melbourne.
3. NASA Closes Three Offices, Lays Off 23 Employees in Trump-Mandated Move
