In brief
In April, Tesla experienced a steep drop in vehicle sales across Germany and the U.K., marking the lowest monthly figures in two years. Registrations plummeted by 46% in Germany and a staggering 62% in the U.K. compared to the same month last year. This decline occurs amidst a broader increase in electric vehicle sales in these countries. In Sweden, registrations for Tesla vehicles decreased by over 80%, while France noted a 59% dip. Analysts attribute these falling numbers to a combination of delayed deliveries of the updated Model Y and rising discontent regarding Elon Musk's political affiliations and U.S. tariffs. Experts suggest this trend points to deeper issues beyond mere product transition, signaling a potential long-term impact on Tesla in Europe as consumers look elsewhere.
