Tesla sales sink by nearly half in Europe

Great news, keep sinking..

In Australia, the EV maker's deliveries dropped 65.5% in the first two months of 2025. Tesla's February 2025 sales in China fell 49.16%, signaling a market share decline.6 Mar 2025

Tesla is tanking the world over. Time for shareholders to remove Musk from all the positions he currently holds with the company, or face the prospect of going broke as more people turn to alternatives.

Musk famous for railing against regulations that are in place to protect lives, because it restricts profits and pace of development.

Being so closely associated with one of the worlds most hated men (Trump) is not doing him any good at all. It brings Musk's worst self to the for and is an enabling factor for his worst decision making.

Business is being rolled into his space company right now, so he stands to make an absolute killing, so this is really small potatoes.

Going into public service was the best move for him and everyone, chainsawing unnecessary workers while saving taxpayers = win, win, win.

Several Tesla dealerships around the United States have been vandalised in recent weeks and the company's stock price has plummeted over the past month.

American hooliganism. Destruction of property as political expression.

Perfect storm of cars of bad quality, insufferable owner constantly present in negative news and much better alternatives.

Actually, Tesla's stocks spiked about 25% in last week.

Analysts attribute very little value to their auto business. Most believe +90% of their value's linked to tech in AI, Robotics, Software & Digital Services, Clean Energy etc.

Musk always says this when the stock falls, but when the cars are the only way Tesla have to show a practical use of their supposed advances in AI, robotics, software, clean energy, etc. That means this would still be a failure. Is like a school saying their purpose is not educating students but developing better teaching methods and technologies, if their students are doing worse than those of other schools then they are still failing.

It's losing market share for lots of reasons.

New car registrations for Tesla models fell 47% in February to 11,743 cars, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. That decline contrasts with a 24% surge in EU battery-electric vehicle sales across the industry that month.

Its shares got a lift from retail investors. Rubes.

One must remember, auto sales in Europe are down across the board, not just Tesla and many countries like Germany have killed their tax credits, so EV's taking it on the chin bigtime. EU is essentially in a recession, as their largest economies are shrinking or showing no growth

What sinking faster Europe economy or Tesla?

Tesla ramping up its Semi production finally, have years of pre-orders and Cyber Cab set to be released later in June, plus the Model 2, smaller cheaper version of Model 3 will start production this year as well.

Tesla's positioning in new places in the market, especially AV 'taxi service', cheaper cars and heavy trucks, so no longer just upper end of the car market.

Elon Musk says all the time that their AI Robot biz (Optimus) will soon be MANY times larger than auto biz and clean energy biz growing triple digits every year.

Auto market's tough, main reason Tesla in the market is for AV and other digital services, other can't deliver.

Tesla just announced a very cool new Van, both for families and for commercial use and of course they have an amazing new sport's car about to be released.

Naturally, Tesla's biggest investments remain in AI, including the world's largest computer in Tennessee by compute capability, that just opened and is expanding.

Tesla also transitioning battery production inhouse, including processing raw lithium in their own plant for first time in US history (only maker to do so), expected to lower battery costs 1/3 or more vs. their vendors

What's not to like about Tesla? Domestic terrorists torching dealerships will do hard time = beware out there!

tesla will take a big hit in Europe over Must and his anti-European antics.

Cyber Cab set to be released later in June

the Cyber Cabs are always just about to be released... since 2019

Elon Musk says all the time that...

That is the problem, Musk says and promises a lot of things, but by this point if he says something it makes it more likely that it will not happen.

Well.. the first batch of Optimuses (5000 units?) should be available this year right?... in 9 months surely we will get the firs Optimuses working in a store near you!!, right?? wink wink

I wanna see Elon cry...unless the plastic surgery has dried up the tear ducts.

Then, a good tantrum would suffice...

Whao you really know this guy, and from where did he get his plastic surgery?

Tesla is toast.

BYD is blowing them out of the water on design, technology and way more sales.

What's not to like about Tesla? 

Tesla’s are poorly designed, over priced, old technology, they catch on fire, and they are super UGLY.

And they support fascist and Nazis.

Tesla's so "toast" it's up 67% in last year with no debt on its balance sheet, nearly $50 Billion in cash equivalents, and with MANY growth catalysts detailed above.

Emotions like hate are fine, but reality's important too, as Elon is world's richest and "First" Pal for Good Reason!

Elon Musk and Tesla too will soon be far more popular when they start cutting taxpayers DOGE $refund checks due to reduction in US Govt. waste, fraud and abuse

The robotaxis have been promised since 6 years ago (and counting) are the checks also coming on that schedule?

EV sales are down worldwide for most makers, not just Tesla. The Elon political angle is way overdone in the media. It is true however that it did result in some radical left anarchists burning Tesla cars and vandalizing dealerships in the States. Such violent acts deserve nothing but the strongest condemnation. No place for this in a civilized society.

Europe, sane Americans salute you!

Nikola Tesla is probably rolling over in his grave at how this Musk guy has trodden upon his great name. The man wanted free distribution of electrical power for everyone and he was concerned with making life better for the average person, not wealth and (abusing) political power. Nikola Tesla is a real genius. Musk is a real tool.

Not even in the same leage.

The Elon political angle is way overdone in the media.

According to whom? Elon? user notelonreallyanotherguy from twitter?
