Summary

Tesla’s European sales plunged 45% in January, while the EV market grew 37%, with rivals like Volkswagen and Renault gaining ground.

Production changes for the Model Y is claimed to contribute to lower sales, but Elon Musk’s political controversies also sparked backlash.

Musk’s support for far-right parties and attacks on European leaders have made him unpopular, as polls show negative perceptions in Germany and the UK.

Tesla’s struggles come as European automakers face stricter emissions targets, increasing competition in the region’s growing EV market.

      Sell it? Isn’t there an contract you have to sign (at least for the cuck truck) that prohibits you from selling it for some number of years?
