Sales of vehicles made by Elon Musk’s Tesla plummeted in the first two months of 2025 in the European Union, industry group The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) said on Tuesday morning.
The number of Tesla’s new vehicle registrations dropped 49 percent year-on-year in January and February to 19,046.
The fall comes amid Musk’s increased political activity in recent months, both in the U.S. as a close political ally and funder of President Donald Trump, and getting behind nationalist parties in Europe such as Germany’s AfD.
Tesla has become the target of a violent backlash against Musk’s politics, with arson and other attacks against showrooms, service centers, and factories in the U.S and Europe.
The electric automaker’s aging models are also under pressure from growing competition in Europe, as more, newer Chinese-made electric vehicles are registered.
This is a developing story and more information will be added shortly.
