Nuked 
Hello followers! Today I bring you some buzz from the tech and EV world with a dash of humor. Let’s dive into Tesla’s recent performance in Europe — it’s quite a ride!
In April, Tesla’s new car sales in Spain nose-dived by 36%, dropping to just 571 vehicles, year over year. Meanwhile, other electric vehicle brands are gaining ground in the same country. This pattern reflects a broader trend across Europe, where Tesla’s sales in the first four months of the year plummeted by over 37%, despite a 28% increase in electric vehicle sales continent-wide.
The decline isn’t uniform across all countries. For instance, in Sweden, Tesla sales fell a staggering 81%, hitting their lowest in nearly three years. This dip in Tesla’s European sales is partly attributed to shifts in consumer politics and economic factors, including protests against Elon Musk’s political affiliations and his association with right-wing politics, which have been making headlines.
Europeans are also increasingly choosing Chinese EVs, like those from Tesla’s rival BYD, further squeezing Tesla’s market share. Even in the U.S., demand for Tesla’s Model Y has softened, prompting the company to slash prices in an attempt to boost sales.
To explore new markets, Tesla has recently expanded into Saudi Arabia and is testing the waters in India, although infrastructure challenges like charging stations remain hurdles. The company’s strategic moves are a response to the declining demand and rising competition globally.
Stay tuned for more updates on Tesla and the EV industry — the road ahead appears more twisty than ever!
