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.

    That said: don’t buy a Tesla. Musk is a Nazi. Don’t support Nazis, punch them.

    Should I buy a car from the manufacturer that was founded by Adolf Hitler instead?

      With all the good arguments against VW you had to pick the dumbest.

        Okay, give me the good arguments against VW. I don’t know of any, actually, and I’m genuinely shopping here.
