US EditionTesla 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.

- 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.
