In Italy the percentage is low because not many Teslas are sold anyway
That's not how percentages work, doofus.
I believe it is to do with the difference in the starting number of registrations but would need to see the data broken down.
We weren't buying them from the start.
Italy poor.
I'm poor.
That's my reason for not buying a Tesla, though.
Did you a word, or would you buy one of you had money?

Globally:
Why are the rich so stupid? Just pretend you care about human rights and your sales go up. It's so simple. Why can't they even put up the facade of being a normal person?
That was the last era. Now we're in a masks-off gilded age where the ultrarich think they can do it all out in the open.
So far the American Ultra-rich have been doing well when they didn't get Luigi'd.
UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.
Or weren't buying many to begin with ๐ค
Thatโs not how percentages work.
It's not, but there's probably another proportion of the overall community that are "I like Musk and I have money, so I'm going to buy a car". That number isn't related to the previous number of sales, so if sales are already low that "arsehole" number would become more significant.
It's a made up example, but just saying there may be ways in which the sales won't drop below an absolute number.
why is Felon Musk not getting fired for poor performance.
From the government? Because he bought it.
From Tesla? Because he is the largest individual stockholder.
And the board is made up of his toadies.
Iโve heard from Germany but are there any articles about Spain? Spain seems to hate musk in particular, me gusta
This is interesting! Spain and Portugal had in fact a slight rise where others had drops, just a few weeks ago in similar illustrations, but are now among the biggest drops. How can that be?
I make a point of never trusting internet information until I personally verify it. Particularly these maps, which are nearly always incorrect or misleading. The internet is full of worthless information. Mining for diamonds is the only means of finding anything even bordering on worthwhile in this garbage pit filled with AI, spam, and propagandists.
My completely anedoctal reasoning is that at this moment Portugal and Spain have more pressing local fish to fry and the whole American issues are taking a backseat on the public discourse. Most people you talk to will be out of the loop over the DOGE, MAGA, nazi salute plot. Moreover the smaller volume of luxury car sales are also contributing to a lagged response. People who were going to buy Teslas made that decision a while back.
Interestingly, I do not see quite a bit of European countries, including Poland, Czechia, etc
Feels like either an attempt of manipulation, or lack of research
If you do speak Czech, Polish etcetera then maybe you can find those numbers. It's not easy for someone who doesn't.
This is the second result for me when I used this duck duck go query
In January 2025, according to PZPM data, 1,121 new electric vehicles were registered in Poland, which is 0.4% more than a year earlier. In January, against the background of a calm in the market, Tesla showed an impressive decrease in car shipments to customers - by 48.8% to just 103 units. For comparison, in 2024, about 4,500 new Teslas were registered, which gave the American brand almost a 27% share in the Polish market of new electric passenger cars. In January 2025, this share decreased to 9.2%.
I doubt those are huge markets for premium cars, but also I imagine the car market in Czechia is just overwhelmingly dominated by Skoda.
Fuck Elon, but I am starting to feel bad for the guys who just wanted to make an electric car. They didn't deserve to get wrapped up in this monkey's paw. I hope they got out while they could.
Ive heard literally 0 shit being flung at the people who work at Tesla. This is the first time I even considered whether this was bad for them.
They likely are losing money though since I think part of their pay is in stock. The stock is overvalued though still.
I dont know, if I worked for Tesla I'd probably consider this a wash.
If you're having doubts about how much this movement is working, remember this chart. Keep the boycott going!
These numbers are outdated, Tesla are back at the top of sales for March in Norway. Such a shame
You gonna have to pump those numbers down, those are rookie numbers.
France and Spain FTW
Italy and the uk need to step it up
I won't cry for Musk, quite the contrary... But I also don't know how important the EU as a market is for Tesla?
You love to see it

Thatโs just January, just when fElon was just getting started.
What numbers would cause them to go bankrupt? I can't imagine any business surviving such significant losses for very long.
Tesla has something like 40b in cash, and makes more profit on their vehicles than everyone, even at these lower prices, except for companies like Porsche.
You could probably halve their total sales and they'd still be fine financially.
The stock would be another story though.
