Tesla lost by Byd in the European market

The American brand for the first time sold fewer cars in Europe than a competitor from China, Reuters writes with reference to Jato Dynamics data. So, in April, BYD realized 7231 electric cars, and Tesla – 7165. The reason, according to analysts, lies in the outdated Tesla line and the changed image of its head of Ilon Mask, which is not to Europeans.

Analysts note that this is a turning point for a European car market. Tesla was in the “green” segment for many years, while the BYD is a newcomer in the market: the Chinese brand came to most European countries only at the end of 2022. Before that, he was present only in Norway and the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, the demand for electric cars in Europe is growing. In April, 28 percent more than such cars were registered than in the same month of 2024. Basically, Chinese stamps contributed to the growth that rapidly increase sales, despite barriers.

Byd proposed his bestseller to Europeans at a double price Musk said that Tesla will receive a new chapter only in case of his death, Tesla owners are massively selling their electric cars

As for Tesla, many Europeans decided to boycott the brand in protest against the political views of the mask. Also, the results of sales were influenced by a recent stop of plants for re -equipment for the production of an updated Model Y.

In addition, customers are waiting for more affordable versions of the crossover on sale. In the meantime, Tesla cannot get rid of the “welcome” performance even in the United States – richly equipped and expensive electric cars do not want to buy.
