Overview
- European registrations jumped strongly in May with France up 655%, Denmark up 136%, Spain up 113%, Sweden up 71% and Norway up 29% according to national registration data and regional trackers.
- Shanghai production rose 39% year on year in May to 85,982 units, the China Passenger Car Association reported, continuing seven months of growth in China‑made Tesla output that feeds European deliveries.
- The upswing is concentrated in refreshed Model Y volumes and has been boosted by higher fuel prices, expanded subsidies and promotional financing that lifted short‑term demand.
- The long‑running Swedish labor dispute remains unresolved despite IF Metall ordering some mechanics back to work on a rotating basis, a dynamic that continues to complicate deliveries and registrations.
- Investors reacted cautiously and shares slipped as market watchers warned the recovery is fragile because Tesla faces fierce price and model competition from Chinese brands, a thin new‑model pipeline and an EU technical vote on FSD scheduled for late June.
