Elon Musk’s brand sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024
Tesla continued a run of weak sales in the EU in November, with new car registrations of Elon Musk’s brand down a third, while Chinese carmakers’ sales soared.
Tesla sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024, shrinking its market share from 2.1% to 1.4%, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea), a lobby group.
The Chinese carmaker BYD recorded by far the fastest sales growth, with registrations across Europe almost tripling year on year up to November, to 42,500. Chinese state-owned SAIC, the owner of the MG brand, recorded sales increases of 26% to push sales to 217,000.
I get why Americans might still buy them. But why the actual fuck would someone from the EU buy a Tesla now?
I see Teslas on the road here in England, but seldom one that looks new. The new EVs I see are Kias, Renaults, MGs, and a small but growing number of BYDs. Once in a while you’ll see a new Jaguar EV or Polestar.
I don’t get why Americans would still buy them but then again I’m not a Nazi or pedo
the US has very little choice in the EV space. Tesla is the cheapest and most technologically advanced. Anything else you buy here has some sort of compromise compared to the comparable Tesla product. I’d buy Renault if they weren’t banned here in the US.
