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 realize this isn’t a real question but the US doesn’t have access to the cheap Chinese cars
The US has access to lots of cheap used EVs. What’s holding up American adoption isn’t cost, it is propaganda and charger access for renters.
They also don’t have access to quality European cars without steep tariffs.
The US market is massively favoring American cars. Meaning they can only have shitty expensive American cars.
I just bought a used 4 year old VW ID.4 with 120.000 km (75.000 miles) on it, not a squeak to hear when I drive it. with Tesla they make noises already when delivered new from the factory!! At least the ones we get in Denmark do.
