Tesla, which is one of the first to come to mind when it comes to electric cars, even at the top, has high sales rates worldwide, but these rates continue to melt day by day in a country and even on the continent. According to January’s data, Tesla sold 60 per cent less in Germany than last year. Here are the details.
Tesla can’t sell in Germany because of Elon Musk?
Electric car giant Tesla’s sales fell 60 percent compared to January last year, according to data released in Germany. In addition, in statements made last week, it was stated that Tesla’s sales declined in January across Europe.

It is estimated that there are two reasons behind this decline. The first reason was the introduction of the new Model Y, while the second reason was that Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s appearance in the political arena by taking an active role in the elections was not welcomed in Europe.
In the previously announced data, there were no exact numbers about Germany, but now the data has become clear. According to the published data, electric vehicle sales in Germany increased by 53.5 per cent during this period, while the general car market decreased by 2.8 per cent. So it is not normal for Tesla to experience a 60 per cent decline in this electric increase.
Here is a comparison of Tesla’s sales in Europe compared to 2024:
