Summary

Tesla’s registrations in France dropped 63% in January, their lowest since August 2022, far outpacing the broader total EV sales’ 0.5% decline.

Tesla registrations across EU countries fell 13% last year, with Germany accounting for much of the decline.

Sales in Germany, Tesla’s biggest European market, also fell 41% last year due to an aging lineup, competition, and subsidy cuts.

CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement, including support for Germany’s far-right party, may be affecting demand.

    Are you expecting someone to say “I never heard of those” so you can share some gem of niche industry knowledge with us?

    Sigh. Alright. “I never heard of those”.

        Oh, right, so we are all very dumb for not recognizing that and also op is very enlightened because he has already arrived at the conclusion that public transport is the only valid form of transportation while the rest of us still thinks that electrically driven automobiles (*snort*) might be anything of value.

        Alright, imma head over to the designated corner of shame, see you guys over there.

          I think they’re just poking fun at EV being about vehicles in general, and not specifically about the autocar.

      Hint: None of those companies make electric vehicles.

          Sure, but that’s not relevant. Unless you’re suggesting that people buying a train is a better idea than buying a Tesla.

            I think they were suggesting that in Europe there’s a way best passenger train network and it’s possible to live without a car.

              I guess that makes sense.
