EV sales in the region are growing, but not for Tesla.
Summary
Tesla's sales in Europe and the UK are plummeting, despite overall EV growth in the region.
In January 2025, Tesla sales fell 63% in France, 59% in Germany, and 12% in the UK, where overall EV sales rose 35%.
Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands also saw major declines. Analysts cite Tesla's aging lineup and CEO Elon Musk's far-right political statements as key factors.
The Cybertruck's European road restrictions further limit appeal.
