Summary

Tesla’s European market share is declining sharply, with EU registrations dropping 40.9% in November 2024 compared to last year, and year-to-date registrations down 15.2%.

Including the UK and EFTA, Tesla’s registrations fell 13.7% this year.

The drop stems from reduced government EV incentives and growing dissatisfaction with CEO Elon Musk.

Despite Tesla’s decline, overall EV registrations in Europe have remained stable as competing automakers gain ground. Tesla remains the largest EV producer in Europe but faces growing pressure from rivals capitalizing on its waning dominance.

      Damn shame too, cause the second gen Roadster is the car I’ve been dreaming of: hard top convertible, sporty, electric, faster than rabbits fucking. But I will never, ever own a Nazimobile.

      I hope it at least inspires other automakers to bring back sporty convertibles. Until then I’ll hang onto my 350Z Roadster forever. If that never happens, I guess I’ll have to eventually convert the car to electric. I’m so sick and tired of every battery car being a god damn crossover. They’re too big and corner like shit because of their size.

      “His” cars are dogshit for the price. The only thing they have going for them is they are fast. Which makes them dangerous since people drive em fast and then cannot stop, since huge battery equals weight. The build quality is dog, the rear door will happily close on your fingers, and sometimes it’ll just brick itself because F you.

        And it’ll watch, listen, and report on you the entire time!

        I don’t see how people fall for these grocery-store smartphone appliances on wheels, but their predictable, dangerously entitled driving patterns tend to check out.
