Tesla sales are tanking in Europe - eviltoast

Summary

Tesla’s European market share is declining sharply, with EU registrations dropping 40.9% in November 2024 compared to last year, and year-to-date registrations down 15.2%.

Including the UK and EFTA, Tesla’s registrations fell 13.7% this year.

The drop stems from reduced government EV incentives and growing dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk.

Despite Tesla’s decline, overall EV registrations in Europe have remained stable as competing automakers gain ground. Tesla remains the largest EV producer in Europe but faces growing pressure from rivals capitalizing on its waning dominance.

    It’s slowly becoming a point of abject loathing. Many of us openly laugh at Tesla drivers, not in the least because they’ve taken the crown of “deadbeat drivers” from BMW & Mercedes a long time ago. See an asshole on the road? 66% chance it’s a Tesla.

      If you need to cut someone off, best to do it to a Tesla as the car is likely to prevent collision and you get to piss off a musk simp

        How about not creating dangerous and potentially deadly situations in traffic, no matter how much we disdain the cars brand or think the other driver is an asshole?

        You cut off the Tesla, the Tesla breaks, the car behind crashes and the whole thing might turn into a mass accident with dozens of injuries and some people killed…
