Tesla sales are tanking in Europe
Tesla sales are tanking in Europe
Summary
Tesla’s European market share is declining sharply, with EU registrations dropping 40.9% in November 2024 compared to last year, and year-to-date registrations down 15.2%.
Including the UK and EFTA, Tesla’s registrations fell 13.7% this year.
The drop stems from reduced government EV incentives and growing dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk.
Despite Tesla’s decline, overall EV registrations in Europe have remained stable as competing automakers gain ground. Tesla remains the largest EV producer in Europe but faces growing pressure from rivals capitalizing on its waning dominance.

No way I'm giving my money to that fascist, I don't care how good or bad his cars are
"His" cars are dogshit for the price. The only thing they have going for them is they are fast. Which makes them dangerous since people drive em fast and then cannot stop, since huge battery equals weight. The build quality is dog, the rear door will happily close on your fingers, and sometimes it'll just brick itself because F you.
And it'll watch, listen, and report on you the entire time!
I don't see how people fall for these grocery-store smartphone appliances on wheels, but their predictable, dangerously entitled driving patterns tend to check out.
I don't like Teslas either due to Musk, the touchscreens, the build quality and their anti self repair antics.
But the model 3 is very reasonably priced for what it is.
And just because something weighs more doesn't mean that the stopping distance is longer, because more weight means the tires are pressed onto the road harder, which means more grip.
Nah, there's plenty of comparable cars for the same price. I'll take a Hyundai ioniq any day. Europe, at least. In the us..dunno.. but not tesla anyway
Yes, there are other EVs available that are also reasonably priced. I just wanted to say that the Model 3 doesn't have dogshit value like the commenter I responded to claimed.
When my car gets too old I will get an EV and it will certainly not be a Tesla, but that has more to do with the company behind the car than the car itself in my case.
Well, there's a huge list of issues that it has. Owners have made a list and some workarounds...dunno, At its price...yeah, that's kinda dog shit.
I know someone who has a model 3 and he likes it, and I haven't seen this list yet, so either these issues are minor to most people or my acquaintance just has luck with his car.
Damn shame too, cause the second gen Roadster is the car I've been dreaming of: hard top convertible, sporty, electric, faster than rabbits fucking. But I will never, ever own a Nazimobile.
I hope it at least inspires other automakers to bring back sporty convertibles. Until then I'll hang onto my 350Z Roadster forever. If that never happens, I guess I'll have to eventually convert the car to electric. I'm so sick and tired of every battery car being a god damn crossover. They're too big and corner like shit because of their size.
There's going to be an electric Boxster in 2025.
Nazimobile
so no Volkswagen, BMW, heck perhaps no big car company?
Ford in the early days. Henry Ford practically was a Nazi.
Companies arent people. Don’t treat them as such. What’s important is who is running the company now and what the company stands for.
