Tesla sales plunge across Europe

  • Tesla experienced a sharp decline in electric vehicle sales across Europe in early 2025, including a 62% drop in the UK during April.
  • This downturn followed growing competition from local brands and backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk's political ties and public gestures.
  • While overall electric vehicle sales rose by 23.9% in the EU's first quarter, Tesla's sales fell 36% in Europe and 45% in the EU specifically.
  • A survey of 100,000 Germans found 94% unwilling to buy Tesla, citing Musk's alignment with Trump and controversial onstage gestures as deterrents.
  • The sales decline threatens Tesla's market position as Chinese rival BYD grows rapidly, with some analysts predicting a difficult second quarter in 2025.
