Summary

Tesla’s EU vehicle sales dropped 49% in January and February 2025, with registrations falling to 19,046.

Analysts link the decline to Elon Musk’s political alignment with Trump and nationalist European parties, sparking backlash, including arson and vandalism at Tesla facilities.

Compounding issues, newer Chinese-made EVs are surpassing Tesla sales in Europe, with Tesla’s market share falling from 18.4% to 7.7% year-to-date.

    I’m kinda on board for the arson as well. There are a lot of people who don’t give a shit about who they support if they can get a car for cheap. But if that car brings the with it the risk of being set on fire or just generally vandalised then maybe that would make self serving cunts rethink their purchase as well.

    Weird to say, but trash new teslas
