    One explanation for the decline is Tesla’s failure to launch a new mainstream model since the Model Y in 2021. Meanwhile, its European and Chinese rivals have brought out a range of more affordable products, better adapted to local preferences.

    France has also decreased subsidies for EV purchases, making Tesla’s premium models far less affordable.
