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.
I get the joke, but it’s misplaced IMO, everybody cheated with emission numbers, and it turned out VW wasn’t even the worst of them.
The VW powerline is actually very good, and their electric engines among the absolute best in efficiency and build quality. They are also easier to repair than most, and definitely easier than Tesla.
