Tesla Sales Plummet Amidst Musk Controversy
Tesla experienced a dramatic 59.5% decline in German sales during January 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, a sharp contrast to the overall German market’s 2.8% decrease. This substantial drop, mirroring similar trends across Europe, is attributed to the Model Y transition and negative public perception fueled by Elon Musk’s controversial actions. Overall European sales plummeted by 50.4% in January, indicating a broader issue beyond just production changes. The impact of this downturn on the wider EV market remains a significant concern.
