Tesla Faces 14% Sales Decline in European Market for 2024
Tesla's year-to-date sales in Europe drop significantly as the broader EV market shows mixed performance and rising competition.
- Tesla's European sales fell 13.7% year-to-date, with November deliveries down by 28.4% compared to the same month last year.
- The broader European EV market declined by 1.4% year-to-date, but excluding Tesla, sales rose by 1.3%, highlighting Tesla's struggles in the region.
- Key markets like France and Germany reported significant drops in EV registrations, partly due to reduced government incentives for electric vehicles.
- Hybrid vehicles gained traction, with registrations increasing 18.7% year-to-date, surpassing both gasoline and diesel-powered cars in monthly market share.
- Tesla faces growing competition from European automakers and Chinese brands, compounded by high production costs and new EU tariffs on Chinese-made cars.
