Tesla sales plunge again in Europe as anger at Musk keeps buyers away for 7th month in a row
August 28, 2025
Europeans upset with Elon Musk still aren’t buying his electric cars, adding to a long losing streak for his company. That is according to data released Thursday by the  European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. The report said Tesla sales plunged 40% in July in 27 European Union countries compared with the year earlier even as sales from all EV makers soared. Chinese rival BYD’s 1.1% market shares topped Tesla’s 0.7%. Tesla’s billionaire CEO angered many Europeans by embracing far-right politicians earlier this year. The company hopes sales will climb after it introduces cheaper vehicles to the market soon.
