Tesla Europe Sales Plunge Amidst Musk Backlash | JQJO

Tesla's European sales plummeted 49% in April, reaching only 7,261 units compared to 14,228 in April 2022. This sharp decline contrasts with a 28% rise in overall electric vehicle sales across Europe. The drop is attributed to various factors, including backlash against Elon Musk's controversial views, an aging model lineup, increased competition from Chinese brands like SAIC's MG, and production halts for Model Y upgrades. Despite the overall European car market showing signs of recovery, Tesla's European sales for the first four months of 2023 are down 39%.
