Tesla sales fall 60% in Germany as owner Elon Musk continues to back far right AfD—’nobody wants to be associated with it’
The numbers tell an interesting story. In Germany, which is Tesla's biggest market in Europe, registrations plummeted by almost 60% in January. They only sold 1,277 cars compared to 3,150 last January. This is especially worrying because the overall German car market only dropped 2.8%, and electric vehicle sales actually went up by 53.5%. It's a similar picture in other European countries, too. France saw a 63.4% drop, the UK was 18.2% down, and the Netherlands also had a 42.5% decline. Across Europe, Tesla's January sales were down by 50.4% compared to last year.
