Tesla Sales Plummet 40% in Norway: Is This the Beginning of the End?
Tesla experienced significant sales declines in Norway, Germany, and France during January 2025, with drops of 38%, 59%, and 63%, respectively. While some attribute this to Elon Musk’s recent actions and public image, others suggest factors like increased competition from companies such as BYD, production shifts for the Model Y, and strategic sales pushes in the prior quarter. Despite the decrease, overall new car sales in Norway rose sharply in January, indicating a potential return to pre-pandemic levels. The long-term impact of Tesla’s January sales figures remains uncertain.
