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.

      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.
