Four key European markets EV reported high double -digit downturns in Tesla volumes in April Only with Norway shows some improvement. So far, there has been a small sign that the more model Y is playing interest in the Elon Musk brand on the continent.
Europe, the second largest market in the world for electric vehicles after China, seems to be closed to a business in Tesla on Elon Musk.
The Paid CEO may regret returning to the Austin Automobile Headquarters this month, as the first batch of national markets publishes data on sales of cars that show that the brand remains in the free fall of the continent.
Whether it’s France or Sweden, the Netherlands or Switzerland, the registration of new Tesla vehicles-which lags behind retail sales slightly continued to fall with high two-digit prices. Now their number of sales is so much that they risk becoming meaningless compared to the US or China.
Tesla’s investors hope that its historically weak quarter is an anomaly due to a change from the older version of Model Y, which has been sold in Europe from the end of 2021, to the more full -fledged styling in front and back.
Before the launch of March, the Juniper derivative, all four Tesla factories closed their Y mounting line in February, significantly reducing the presence and contributing to the historically weak results of the Q1 last week.
The average crossover is the best-selling car of all kinds of worldwide two years straight and represents about two-thirds of the brand volume, so any change was to distort the monthly sales data.
But Tesla’s European business seems to be in complete collapse. In France, its volume sank 59% to 863 cars for the month. Sweden, where there is a work dispute between Tesla and the local, if the Metall Snalite Union saw its sales dropped by 81% to only 203 vehicles in the otherwise growing market.
In the Netherlands, Tesla sold only 382 vehicles in April, 74% dropping. Switzerland was also a disaster – the conclusion of 50% to 227 cars.
All of these markets are relatively rich, have a significant EV public loading network and are used by penetration for EV, far higher than Spain, Italy or the greater part of Eastern Europe. In other words, they tend to be where Tesla conditions are the most favorable.
Instead, the lonely bright place was Norway, where volumes grew by 12% to 976 cars.
To put this in perspective, the total 19 771 new Tesla vehicles registered in all five markets for the first four months of this year is approximately the equivalent of two weeks of sales in China.
