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.
“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.
I don’t like Teslas either due to Musk, the touchscreens, the build quality and their anti self repair antics.
But the model 3 is very reasonably priced for what it is.
And just because something weighs more doesn’t mean that the stopping distance is longer, because more weight means the tires are pressed onto the road harder, which means more grip.
Nah, there’s plenty of comparable cars for the same price. I’ll take a Hyundai ioniq any day. Europe, at least. In the us…dunno… but not tesla anyway
Yes, there are other EVs available that are also reasonably priced. I just wanted to say that the Model 3 doesn’t have dogshit value like the commenter I responded to claimed.
When my car gets too old I will get an EV and it will certainly not be a Tesla, but that has more to do with the company behind the car than the car itself in my case.
Well, there’s a huge list of issues that it has. Owners have made a list and some workarounds…dunno, At its price…yeah, that’s kinda dog shit.
I know someone who has a model 3 and he likes it, and I haven’t seen this list yet, so either these issues are minor to most people or my acquaintance just has luck with his car.
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.
