Tesla sales drop again around Europe despite Model Y revamp

EUROPE, AUG 1 – Tesla sales in Europe dropped sharply due to stricter EU autonomous vehicle rules, rising competition, and a delayed affordable model launch, with Finland sales down over 70%, Reuters reported.

  • Between January and July, Finland registered 1,092 new Teslas, marking a year-on-year drop of more than 70 percent in 2025.
  • Tightened EU regulations hampered Tesla’s Model Y rollout, with Reuters attributing the slump to regulatory and reputational factors, delaying the lower-cost model until late 2025.
  • Across major markets, Tesla sales plunged, with Denmark declining 52 percent to 336 units and France dropping 27 percent to 1,307 vehicles, Reuters reports.
  • While Sweden’s total new car registrations rose 6 percent and Denmark’s increased 20 percent, Tesla’s market share in both countries fell sharply.
  • Looking ahead, Elon Musk warned of challenging quarters, citing the delayed affordable model and US tax incentive withdrawal, as Polestar registrations rose over 180 percent.
