Demand for Tesla in Europe fell almost double

In January, sales of the American brand fell by 45 percent, up to a two -year minimum, Bloomberg writes, although interest in electric cars of other manufacturers is growing. Analysts blame the behavior of the head of Tesla Ilona Mask, who advocates right -wing politicians: according to surveys, the popularity of the businessman is steadily declining in Germany, Great Britain and other markets of the European region.

According to the European Association of Automobiles, Tesla in January 2025 sold 9945 electric cars. A year ago, she managed to realize almost twice as much – 18,161 per month. And this is, against the background of growth of 37 percent in the whole industry, spurred by a surge of sales in Germany and the UK.

In Germany, in the key car market of Europe, Tesla sold only 1277 electric cars in January. This is the worst result since 2021. And the most powerful decrease demonstrated demand in France – by 63 percent. In the UK, Tesla lost eight percent of customers and lost to the Chinese BYD.

The attitude to Tesla is directly affected by Musk, analysts say that actively supports European right -wing politicians and Donald Trump’s steps against Ukraine. Thus, almost 79 percent of the Germans surveyed by YouGov evaluate the mask negatively, and his “attempts to intervene in the country’s policy” consider almost 85 percent unacceptable.

In the UK, the top manager includes “unfavorable” 71 percent of respondents, although from August to December 2024 the share was at 64 percent.

Despite the problems that the auto industry faced, they believe in Europe that the future is behind electric cars. The European Commission is already preparing new measures to support the “battery” machines, and is also going to launch the called strategic dialogue with leading manufacturers. Perhaps new solutions will help the workers of the no better times of Volkswagen and Stellantis.
