Well, when your CEO flirts with far-right politicians and Donald Trump, don’t be surprised if the continent that invented social democracy ghosts those overpriced go-karts
i like the german numbers and that right after gigafactory berlin started to produce 😀
It should be noted that in the UK, registrations != sales. Tesla has in the past unloaded a ship full of cars and immediately registered them all.
Scrap metal. Why buy Teslas when we have Polestar, VW, Stellantis, Renault, etc?
There are odd distortions because of how right hand drive models ship. Similar issue in Ireland. The trends will emerge in a few months.
For comparison they fell by 9% in the US.
15% decline specifically in California.
It’s wayyyyy worse than this. Tesla is the one reporting and they lie all the time
Our tax rules in the UK changed in April, any EVs registered after this date have an increase in both VED (commonly referred to as road tax) and the expensive car supplement if they are over £40k in value
It may well be that this was Tesla pre-registering vehicles in Q1 (before Q2 starts in April after the tax changes) so they can then later sell them without these taxes applied
They have been known to register vehicles before they are sold in the past, as a registration just allocates a license plate and is not tied directly to a sale
Registrations do not equal sales in the UK. They will be registered and rotting in forecourts.
Also bear in mind, our numbers of tesla sales were already around half compared to other large EU countries.
Think the figures from February were around 1800 in 2024, then 1500 in 2025. Compared to Germany who had around 3500 sales in Feb 2024
Good. I used to be neutral towards Elon but his recent comments about Ukraine are despicable.
Registrations does not equal sales*
*in the UK
There’s a few more countries in Europe than that.
Also worth noting that X also had a 66% revenue drop from the UK so we’re doing our part in other ways.
Do registrations mean the same across Europe?
PSA that cars imported to the UK are registered on arrival; not registered at sale. It means that Teslas might be arriving in the country but doesn’t mean people are buying them.
Great but not enough.
Hopefully these numbers will go up
There was another report in Reddit saying UK Tesla sales were down 15% or something like that. Are they both true……?
Do car lots count as registered in the UK?
Honestly every time I see a Tesla I instantly give a judging look without realising.
I see this topic every few days. Come on people…
You mean western Europe?
In Denmark, going by the registrations so far in April – up to the 13th – Tesla sold 47 of the 4381 EVs.
That leaves them a whopping 1.1% marketshare, down from 7.8% last year and 23%-something in 2023.
VAG is about 30% total.
Wunderbar!!!!!! Put Musk out of the car business in Europe!!!!
Nice to see my bros an sis in DK keepin it real
Sales volume in each market would be useful. I have been in Italy recently and didn’t notice many Teslas
Plus with the ID.5 and ID.7 from Volkswagen Tesla has some real competition on the German market. VW has done a lot of wrong in the past with their EVs, but their current line-up is really good.
I hope it goes down even further ahead..
In Luxembourg it is down by roughly 50% too
Terrible car, buy a Mercedes instead
If you want to destroy the power of Trump, you’ve to deal a blow to the businesses of his oligarchs. Taxing and tariffing Tesla, Meta, Amazon, Google, Netflix, Disney etc.
If millions of people all over Europe would cancel their subscriptions, they would think again.
An overall EU would be nice
Would be more interesting to see new BYD registrations. Those are really starting to populate in Madrid.
Look, there’s registration does not equal to sales in the UK…
Plus, as for myself, I will drive my 2015 Toyota Prius until thy kingdom comes. Not a single taste for electric vehicles, especially Tesla.
It’s not often that I feel proud with my fellow germans.
the uk has had a massive increase in ev purchases from most companies, and tesla is lagging relative to those
UK here – I just got back from a drive to the shops and saw a 25 plate tesla. This person is either locked in with a massive deposit or is just a cunt that doesn’t read the news.
Get Tesla out of Europe!
What would actual Mr.Tesla say about nazi saluting fat druggie moron using his name to promote a car I wonder?!
Let’s keep lowering these numbers people
…. you know those countries are going to be a target after this.
those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
let’s see 95%
I’m surprised they still have any to be honest. I wouldn’t want to be seen dead driving one.
You also have to consider that these stats are lagging behind sentiment. I suspect the next quarter will be even worse.
Yeah new registrations in the UK are not the same thing as cars sold

Tesla sales are tanking in Europe?
