Popularity has plummeted in markets like Germany, a country still haunted by its fascist past, where Tesla's share of EV sales plummeted to just 3.7% last month versus 14% a year earlier.

Tesla sales have plummeted across Europe amid fears owner Elon Musk's political affiliations are causing motorists to turn away from the electric vehicle brand. The latest sales data from across the continent show a staggering 59.

Tesla cars were sold remarkably less across Europe in recent months. This is remarkable since the electric car market remained stable or even grew significantly. In Belgium, for example, 45% fewer Tesla cars were sold in January 2025 compared to January 2024.
