Tesla’s Sales Dilemma: Trends and Predictions for Europe
Recent data reveals a notable decline in Tesla sales within California and several European regions. This downturn appears closely tied to CEO Elon Musk’s intense engagement with right-wing politics across the US and Europe. Additionally, it’s important to note that Tesla currently offers only two mainstream models—the Model 3 and Model Y. While these vehicles have undergone facelifts along with upgrades in their internal technology systems recently, the enhancements are viewed as satisfactory rather than groundbreaking. Meanwhile, rival car manufacturers relentlessly introduce new models into the market.
On a brighter note for Tesla aficionados, the Model Y has retained its position as Europe’s benchmark electric vehicle (EV) for sales over the past couple of years; this success occurred even prior to its recent updates.
Evaluating Future Sales: A Reader Poll
Considering various influencing factors at play regarding Tesla’s performance in Europe, we found an intriguing suggestion from one of our European insiders—conducting a reader poll about projected sales losses for Tesla by the year 2025. Although I chose to soften the title of this survey slightly out of curiosity regarding public sentiment on how these influences might shape outcomes—especially given Musk’s prominent role—I am eager to gather insights from our audience.
To frame this discussion more analytically without steering opinions too much—let’s include expert viewpoints like those from José Pontes who recently reported on December’s sales metrics for these models (which are currently among Europe’s best-selling EVs).
“Tesla Model Y secured its place as Europe’s top-selling EV, achieving 28,679 deliveries in December—a remarkable 15% increase compared to last year during that same month. With imminent improvements expected from an upcoming refresh (even though design aspects may provoke debate), one can anticipate that it will maintain its stronghold throughout 2025 despite facing stiffer competition by late 2026, which could pose challenges.”

“Tesla Model 3, meanwhile had approximately 15,360 units sold in December, marking a notable rise of around 17% year-over-year (YoY). However%, this rejuvenation is expected to see diminishing returns moving into 2025, potentially capping total annual sales around 105k–110k units.”
Overarching statistics show that throughout 2024, Model Y achieved 211393 units sold across Europe while Model three accounted for 113783—cumulatively summing up close to 325000 vehicles sold overall. The looming question remains—as we transition into 225, how many cars will actually leave showrooms? Please share your thoughts here:
