Tesla sales are down bad in Europe, and its probably because of Musk

Mashable - Wed, 03/26/2025 - 08:28

The electric vehicle sales numbers for Europe in February are in, and it's not looking good for Elon Musk's Tesla.

According to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), battery electric vehicles (BEV) are selling well in Europe, accounting 15.2 percent of new car registrations in the January-February period of 2025. That's up from 11.5 percent in the same period last year, and mostly at the expense of petrol and diesel cars. A total of 255,489 BEV units were sold, a 28.4 percent increase compared to the same period last year.

For Tesla, however, the numbers are downright awful. In the January-February period of 2025, the company sold 37,311 units in Europe, a 49 percent decline compared to the same period last year.

Some of the decline could be attributed to the launch of the company's most popular model, the Model Y, which was refreshed in January, first making its way to China, followed by a launch in Europe. Some buyers may have been holding on their purchase in order to get the hotly anticipated new model.

Looking at ACEA's sales numbers for Tesla in February alone, it's fair to assume that there are other reasons for decline. During February, Tesla sold a total of 11,743 units, down 47.1 percent compared to February 2024, when the company sold 22,181 units in Europe.

In February, the Model Y was available to pre-order in many European countries, but it didn't start shipping until early March. We'll likely get a clearer picture of how the new Model Y is selling in Europe next month.

However, there are strong indications that European buyers simply moved on to other brands. According to figures from automotive market research company JATO Dynamics for February 2025, not only did Tesla sell 56 percent less Model Y units, the company also sold 14 percent less Model 3 units, which can hardly be attributed to the Model Y's launch. In contrast, many Volkswagen group BEVs, including the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.3, as well as Skoda Enyaq (which is also being replaced by a new model very soon), are selling extremely well compared to last year's February (ACEA tracks the UK, the EU, and EFTA separately, but even adding all of them together, Tesla sales are still down 40.1 percent in February, year-over-year).

Electrek tracks Tesla sales per country, and reports the sales decline has been too large to attribute to the Model Y transition. For example, in Germany, Tesla sold only 1,429 cars in February 2025, down 70.6 percent compared to the same period last year. In France, Tesla sold 26 percent fewer units in February. The only European country where Tesla fared well in February (according to the data we have now) was the UK, where sales rose 7.7 percent in February.

It's fairly obvious that Musk's politics, which include support for Germany's far-right party AfD, and the since-deleted post that saw him absolve Hitler and other dictators of genocide, are getting in the way of Tesla sales. In a recent T-Online poll, with around 100,000 readers voting, more than 94 percent said they wouldn't buy a Tesla again. A recent YouGov EuroTrack survey indicated that the majority of Britons and Germans have an unfavourable view of Musk.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Commenting on Tesla's recent stock price decline, the Musk wrote on X that "it will be fine long-term." Possibly, but it may take a while — and perhaps some changes within the company — for Tesla to regain the trust of European buyers.

Non-monogamous people just as happy as monogamous people, study finds

Mashable - Wed, 03/26/2025 - 07:25

Discussions of non-monogamy have boomed online in the past few years, as hookup apps like Feeld have made it easier for people to participate in "the lifestyle."

As with any subject on the internet, though, there's been backlash to the non-monogamy hype. While some are looking for alternate relationship styles, others are trying to be tradwives who idealize monogamy and marriage. Even Feeld pointed out that, in research with the Kinsey Institute, that young adults fantasize about monogamy these days.

SEE ALSO: How to get started with non-monogamy

According to new research, however, they may not need to: An analysis of 35 studies involving over 24,000 people worldwide found no significant differences between monogamous and non-monogamous people. The peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of Sex Research states that both groups report similar levels of satisfaction in their relationships and sex lives.

These satisfaction levels remained consistent across different demographics like LGBTQ and heterosexual people and differing non-monogamy types like open relationships and polyamory. (We explain the differences in our introduction to non-monogamy.)

"Monogamous relationships are often assumed to offer greater satisfaction, intimacy, commitment, passion, and trust than non-monogamous ones. This widespread belief — what we term as the 'monogamy-superiority myth' — is often reinforced by stereotypes and media narratives," lead author, associate professor Joel Anderson, a principal research fellow at the Australian Research Centre in Sexuality, Health, and Society at La Trobe University, said in the press release.

"Our findings challenge this long-standing assumption outside of academia, providing further evidence that people in consensually non-monogamous relationships experience similar levels of satisfaction in their relationships and sex lives as those in monogamous ones," Anderson continued.

There were limitations to the study, however. They were all self-reported, so respondents could be swayed to respond a certain way to justify their life choices. Also, as the study relied on online sampling, that could've reduced its representativeness and generalizability, the press release stated.

Despite these limitations, alternative relationship structures are unlikely to go away soon — and the same goes for social media conversations about them.

Haim makes up songs between unpopular opinions from BBC radio callers

Mashable - Wed, 03/26/2025 - 06:38

Haim joined BBC Radio 1's Greg James for the safely controversial segment "Unpopular Opinion," and it's probably one of the more consistently musical of the show's guest appearances.

Promoting their latest single "Relationships," Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim not only take James' wordy theme song very seriously, they take calls from folks bringing their best "don't @ me" takes. Potatoes suck! Flip flops should be worn all-year round! Posting your fitness on social media needs to stop! ("Have you watched our music videos? All we do is walk.")

But the best bit? Remember when Haim turned people's terrible mornings into hilariously dorky songs on James' show in 2019? It's time for a revisit.

Walmarts Super Savings Week is live during the Amazon Big Spring Sale

Mashable - Wed, 03/26/2025 - 06:01

Get ready for a week of sales everywhere. It's like Black Friday, but make it spring, with flowers, pastels, and great deals for the upcoming summer season.

On the heels of Amazon announcing the Big Spring Sale, which officially starts on March 25, Walmart is coming in hot with the deals too. And we also can't forget that Target is getting on the savings with Target Circle Week that also overlaps the majority of the sale dates.

Boiled down, we're all in for some great sale prices next week. If you're a Walmart fan or are shopping for great discounts this spring, here's everything to know about the Walmart Super Savings Week.

When is Walmart Super Savings Week?

Officially, the Walmart Super Savings Week spans Monday, March 24 though Tuesday, April 1. Sale prices are exclusively available online at walmart.com and in the Walmart app, which means you can leisurely scan the Walmart sale aisles from the comfort of home.

Best deals to look out for during Walmart Super Savings Week 2025

Catering to the spring and summer season, the Walmart sale promises discounts on spring cleaning items, patio furniture, barbecues, and much more. Expect to see discounts that take up to 55% off normal prices. Here's a sneak peek of some deals to expect at the Walmart Super Savings Week 2025.

Last year's Super Savings Week brought impressive discounts on Apple products like AirPods, AirTags, and Apple Watches, and we wouldn't be surprised if this year follows suit.

We also spotted great spring cleaning deals last year, including Dyson and Bissell vacuums. Compared to last year's Amazon Big Spring Sale, Walmart's offerings served the same or even better discounts on Apple Watches, Fitbit trackers, and video games, so we'll be keeping an eye out for those this year.

Already-live deals to shop during the Walmart Super Savings Week 2025

Just like Amazon, which already has over 200 deals worth shopping ahead of the Big Spring Sale, Walmart is already dropping prices. We expect to see hundreds of deals drop at Walmart on March 24, but you don't have to wait until next week to get some nice discounts. Here are a few deals that are already live at Walmart.

It's almost been a year since Target launched its Target Circle 360 membership. What better way to celebrate than with a sale?

Unsurprisingly, this one-year anniversary celebration happens to fall alongside Amazon's Big Spring Sale. Coincidence? Never. We knew the mega-retailer wouldn't pass up the chance to compete with Mr. Bezos. Enter: Target Circle Week.

"We are thrilled to celebrate the one-year anniversary of Target Circle 360 with our best Target Circle Week yet," said Cara Sylvester, Target's executive vice president and chief guest experience officer, in a press release. "Target Circle members will receive the biggest deals on thousands of items from the latest in spring style to everyday favorites that are always on the checklist."

Target Circle Week is an exclusive savings event for Target Circle members, held multiple times a year. Non-coincidentally, it tends to occur at the same times as major shopping events at Amazon, like Prime Day and Black Friday. Here's everything you need to know about the competing spring sale at Target.

When is Target Circle Week?

As a shock to nobody, Target Circle Week will overlap with the Amazon Big Spring Sale (which runs March 25 to 31). Circle Week officially kicked off on March 23 at 3:00 a.m. ET and runs through March 29, delivering seven days of exclusive deals. The discounts will be available to Target Circle members on the Target app and website, as well as in stores.

How to sign up for Target Circle

Target Circle Week requires a membership to shop, but unlike Prime or Walmart Plus, Target Circle is free to join. Here's how:

  1. Head to Target.com/circle and choose "Create account."

  2. Enter your full name, email address, and phone number.

  3. Choose whether to use a password or passkey (fingerprint, face ID, or pin) to sign in.

  4. Select "Create account." You are now a Target Circle member and are free to shop the savings event when it goes live.

Early access for Target Circle 360 members

For the first time, Target Circle 360 members will get early access to select deals 24 hours before they open to all Target Circle members.

Target Circle 360 members can shop the following deals before anyone else: 

Target Circle 360 is a paid membership that offers unlimited same-day delivery from Target, access to a curated marketplace of other retailers and grocers via Shipt.com, free two-day shipping on eligible items, and other exclusive benefits and experiences. Typically $99 for the year, memberships are on sale for just $49 from March 16 through 29. That's 50% in savings.

Mashable's shopping experts will be following the Target Circle Week sale closely and updating this list with any new noteworthy deals that drop through March 29. Here's a look at some of the best featured deals.

Peacock Premium deal

Another first for Target Circle Week: three free months of Peacock Premium. Thanks to a special, limited-time partner perk, new and returning Peacock subscribers can sign up for the ad-supported tier at no cost from March 9 through March 29. Conveniently, Wicked started streaming on March 21 on Peacock — just saying.

Of course, once the three-month promotional period expires, you'll be charged full price (currently $7.99 per month), and your subscription will auto-renew monthly. You can cancel anytime to avoid further charges.

As stated in the press release, Target Circle Week will bring back the customer-favorite "Deal of the Day." Limited-time unique deals will pop up (and then disappear) for members to shop. Similar to Amazon's Lightning deals, they'll only stick around for 24 hours. Keep an eye out for these exclusive discounts each day of the sale. So far, we've seen the Instant Pot 7-in-1 Rio Wide down to $79.99 from $129.99 and 25% off Hearth & Hand with Magnolia home products.

After weeks of anticipation, Amazon's Big Spring Sale is finally here, running from March 25-31. This seasonal sale brings deals on springtime favorites for a little refresh as we exit winter.

As expected, this sale is bringing discounts on Amazon's flagship devices. Our favorites, as always, are Amazon's Kindles. Having tried nearly every model in the line-up, we can safely say that Kindles are fantastic e-readers, well suited for anyone, whether you're an avid annotator or shopping on a budget.

But let's temper your expectations. The deals are good but unexpected. We're seeing no deals on our preferred Kindles, the basic model, Paperwhite, and Paperwhite Signature Edition. Instead, Amazon has marked down its Kindles with a little more flair, like the Colorsoft and Scribe. And while the sale is more limited than expected on Kindles, we can say that the deals are great. Like lowest price ever great.

Here are the best deals on Kindles to shop during Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

If you're looking to buy a Kindle during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, the best savings are on the Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition. This is the first color Kindle, which debuted in late 2024. While we've yet to test this e-reader, we have high hopes for the device as the rest of the Kindle line-up is stellar.

This will be a particularly good e-reader for graphic novel readers, who want the convenience and portability of the device, but still want to enjoy every detail in color. It has some great specs, including 32GB of storage, auto-adjusting warmth and brightness, and wireless charging, in the same vein as the Paperwhite Signature Edition.

The Colorsoft is 20% off during the spring sale, bringing it down to $224.99. That's the lowest price the Kindle Colorsoft has reached, saving you $55.

Get ready, because Amazon's Big Spring Sale is finally here. Running from March 25 to 31, the event will mostly feature deals on spring essentials and outdoor items, but that doesn't mean it'll be completely devoid of tech deals. Case in point: A bunch of tablets are on sale during the event, including some fan favorites. So far, we're finding some pretty decent discounts on iPads, Amazon Fire Tablets, and others that we think are worth giving a look.

While Amazon isn't normally the best place to score laptop deals on any given day, it tends to beef up its selection and ramp up its discounts for certain sitewide sales it puts on throughout the year. Prime Day and Black Friday are the main ones, of course, but don't sleep on the retail giant's Big Spring Sale, either.

Amazon's seasonal savings event is now on from March 25 to 31. Though the event is centered around warm-weather essentials (think outdoor gear and cleaning supplies), Amazon has snuck in a handful of laptop deals starring discounts of up to 26%. That includes record-low prices on the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 360, the Microsoft Surface Pro 11, two Lenovo gaming laptops, and the brand-new M4 Apple MacBook Airs, which only just debuted on March 12.

Ninja makes some of the most innovative and useful kitchen appliances that make meal prep so much easier.

Now we have all eyes on the brand new Ninja Swirl which gives us the ability to live in frozen yogurt bliss this summer. In addition to incredible treats, Ninja also makes awesome kitchen appliance staples like blenders, air fryers, and coffee makers.

If your kitchen could do with some fresh small appliances, we're seeing sweet discounts on Ninja products during the Amazon Big Spring Sale.

The Ninja Mega Kitchen System is the queen of versatility. It's a full-size blender with a 72-ounce capacity pitcher, a personal smoothie maker, and a powerful food processor. This do-it-all model is perfect for anyone who has a small kitchen, not much storage space left, or anyone who prefers uncluttered countertops. The Ninja Mega Kitchen System usually sells for $199.99 but ahead of the Amazon Spring Sale, it's on sale for just $139.99.

The blender's 1500 watt base works great for blending, pureeing, and crushing. The included food processor bowl can hold up to eight cups of ingredients which means it's great for making fresh salsa, homemade pesto, mixing cookie dough, and blending nut butters.

For quick breakfasts before heading out the door, the included 16-ounce Nutri Ninja cup is perfect for making a single-serving smoothie. The to-go lid is also convenient for taking breakfast on the road.

This model usually sells for $229.99, but it's on sale ahead of the Amazon Big Spring Sale for only $199.99 which means you'll save $30.

The Ninja DualBrew can make your morning coffee via a K-Cup pod or ground coffee. It'll produce everything from a single cup to a full carafe of drip coffee. The built-in frother adds a coffee-house touch to your coffee creations, but it neatly tucks into the side of the machine for easy storage.

The machine also has a hot water button which works great for tea drinks, hot chocolate, or adding hot water to your morning's bowl of instant oatmeal.

We're getting into warmer months, and that means you might be less inclined to turn on the oven for dinner, risking heating up your home even more. The summer is an especially great time to take advantage of electric countertop ovens like the Ninja Double Stack XL. This model features two different cooking areas and 12 cooking options. The double oven option gives extra versatility when cooking and baking at different temperatures and on different timers. The 12 options include bake, broil, reheat, keep warm, toast, bagel, air fry, pizza, oven roast, and more. There's even a convection bake setting, which is great for making cookies.

Ninja says this model can fit up to six salmon filets, a 4.5-pound chicken, or six slices of bread. This deal includes the countertop oven, two sheet pans, two wire racks, an air fryer basket, and a crumb tray. While the Ninja Double Stack XL usually sells for $349.99, it's discounted for the Amazon Big Spring Sale to $249.99, which means you'll be saving $100.

UPDATE: Mar. 26, 2025, 6:00 a.m. EDT We updated this post with the latest Apple deals, including a $99 price cut on the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

The best Apple deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M4, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) $949 (Save $50) Get Deal Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods Pro $169.99 (Save $79.01) Get Deal Best iPad deal Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M3, WiFi, 128GB) $549 (Save $50) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS, 42mm) $299 (Save $100) Get Deal

If you're looking for discounted Apple products, Amazon is a reliable place to grab them year-round.

However, during its Big Spring Sale, running from March 25 to 31, we're keeping our eyes peeled as even more deals go live. While the sale focuses primarily on "springtime favorites" like outdoor furniture and garden supplies, last year's inaugural BSS did bring some tech deals. Best of all, exempting a few exclusive offers, most deals are available to all customers, regardless of their Prime membership status.

So far, we have spotted deals on new releases like the M3 iPad Air, 11-inch iPad, and M4 MacBook Airs. In addition to iPads, we also found a $400 markdown on the M3 13-inch MacBook Air and $170 price cut on the Beats Studio Pro. Again, while these deals aren't officially tied to the spring sale and can be found at other times of the year, these are still solid prices for any of these items.

We'll continue updating this post as the sale progresses, so check back if you're looking for the best Apple deals from Amazon's Big Spring Sale.

Note: Deals with a 🔥 next to them have dropped to record-low prices.

Check out our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.

Apple just dropped the M4 MacBook Air, and even at full price, we think it's a really good deal. In a divergence from last year's Air pricing, Apple started its 13-inch model at just $999 — with an M4 chip and the RAM upgrades Apple gave all its laptops last fall, this is the best value we've ever seen on an Apple laptop. Amazon slashed another $50 off the price, which, while admittedly not a jaw-dropping discount, helps make a great value even better. The biggest downside to this laptop is that it might be a little short on ports for some users, and then it tops out at a 60Hz refresh rate, but if you can work with that, the M4 Air is an excellent deal.

Check out our full review of the AirPods Pro.

For Apple users, the AirPods Pro are an excellent pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, with some of the best noise cancellation and sound quality in the game. As the USB-C Pros near their second year anniversary, we can't say they're without a doubt the best on the market — their battery life could be better, for instance — but their age works in their favor for this price drop down to $169.99, which certainly makes some of their flaws easier to look past. We have seen these earbuds drop to $154 during Black Friday season, but we haven't seen that deal return since, making $170 the next best deal to grab them at.

The M3 iPad Air just hit the market earlier this month, but you can already grab it for $50 off. At the time of writing, the previous generation Air costs even more on Amazon at $599 (though you can grab it on sale for $499 at Best Buy). Beyond the chip upgrade, this iPad features plenty of Apple Intelligence integration, from the Photos and Notes apps, to the Writing Tools feature that uses ChatGPT. Though we've yet to test this tablet hands-on for ourselves, the M2 Air is our favorite iPad for most people — we imagine the M3 Air will follow suit.

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

The Apple Watch Series 10 only came out this past fall, making this $100 off deal especially impressive. Along with its larger wide-angle OLED display, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder found this smartwatch to be lighter than its predecessors, with an ultra-fast charge time. This watch generation introduced fitness features like a depth gauge, sleep apnea detection, and a Vitals app, but it's worth noting those features aren't exclusive to the Series 10. However, if your Series 6 has been on the fritz for a while, or you've never owned an Apple Watch, $299 is a solid price to grab Apple's latest smartwatch.

Amazon is springing a bunch of seasonal deals on shoppers. The retail giant is hosting its second-ever Big Spring Sale from Tuesday, March 25, through Monday, March 31, ushering in discounts on "end-of-season winter items" and "springtime favorites" across more than 35 categories, per its press release. Each day of the weeklong sale features "themed daily drops" on top of new limited-time offers.

The Big Spring Sale is Amazon's first major savings event of the year — and unlike its flagship summer Prime Day sale, the deals aren't exclusive to Prime members. Most of them, anyway: Prime members get access to a handful of special offers, which are identified with a "Prime Spring Deal" badge.
