Tesla sales in Europe drop 49% as EV market grows
- According to ACEA, Tesla's European deliveries have significantly declined, with a 49% drop in the first two months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, delivering only 26,619 units versus 46,343 units.
- Despite an overall 28.4% increase in new battery-electric car sales in Europe, reaching 255,489 units and capturing 15.2% of the market share, Tesla's performance lags behind, potentially eroding its market share.
- While the shift to the new Model Y design and decreased Model 3 registrations in most European markets are factors, they may not fully account for Tesla's substantial delivery decrease.
- Analyst Edison Yu, while reiterating a buy rating for Tesla, reduced the price target to $345 from $420 and estimated first-quarter deliveries between 340,000 and 350,000, noting that some "brand damage" caused by Elon Musk's political activities could hurt demand.
- Tesla faces growing competition from major automakers like BYD, which reported a record $107 billion in revenue for 2024 and a 40% jump in electric and hybrid vehicle sales, contributing to pressure on Tesla's stock alongside weaker auto volumes and political uncertainty.
