Paris: Tesla sales immersed in the European Union in the first two months of the year, auto industry data showed Tuesday, as Elon Musk’s politics and elderly model are removing consumers.

According to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, known as Acea, the new Tesla registration decreased by 49 % to 19.046 in January and February compared to the same two -month period last year.

Despite the 28.4 % increase in the European Union’s overall electric cars in the European Union in the European Union, the decline has reached 255,489 units, with the European Union market share 15.2 percent. The old model of Tesla faces growing competition from new Chinese and European cars.

But the image of this brand has also achieved a success in Europe as Musk has supported a right -wing party in Germany and has played an important role in President Donald Trump’s administration, which has been strained with the European Union.

In recent weeks, several Tesla dealerships have been broken around the United States, and companies’ stock prices have dropped last month. In recent months, there have been several incidents of targeting Tesla in Germany – in recent months, at least eight cars have been set on fire since the beginning of the year.

“Many people do not agree with the thoughts of the Global Consultancy Roland Burger, Matthew Noel told AFP.” But, he added, at this stage, it is still difficult to say that “it has a real impact on the brand or if it is temporary”.

German struggle

In the recent general election, the German (AFD) party supported the right replacement in Germany, and Musk spreads anger in Germany.

According to official data, Tesla’s sales in Germany declined by 76 % in February last month.

Although the government has faced electric car sales in Germany since launching the subsidy program, the recent Tesla’s malfunction is contrary to recovery in the wider sector.

Musk’s car company is a leader in the electric car business, but Noel said Tesla’s offer to grow age can also explain the falling sales in Europe. Noel said, “Now it does not offer the best product.

Although its highest -selling model 3 and model Wi have been upgraded, it still “looks like it is a single vehicle,” the analyst said. Noel added that concerns about the massive memory of reliability and cyberspatics, which have not even been sold in Europe, can play a role in shutting down European consumers.

According to the ACEA Trade Group, Tesla’s market share reached only 1.1 percent in the first two months of 2025. In February alone, Tesla’s registration was reduced by 47 % to 11.743.

Although its market share has increased slightly to 1.4 percent last month, it was behind the Chinese rival SAIC, which creates electricity and hybrid cars under the name of MG brand.

Petrol vs. Electric

According to the Acea, the electric car market has grown in Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, and has begun to launch it in Spain and Italy.

Despite the progress, ACEA Director General Sigrade de Warez said the latest data “confirms that the market demand for battery electric vehicles is lower than the level required for transfer to zero emission movements.”

It cited the need for tax and purchase privileges for customers and the need to invest in rechargeing stations, at a time when the European Union is preparing to reduce the removal of emission reduction goals for the struggle of European carmakers.

According to the ACEA, the registration of new cars as a whole fell three percent in the European Union in January and February. Hybrid Electric Vehicles continued to be the largest section of the market, which reaches 594,059 registration for 35.2 % market share, compared to 29.1 % of petrol cars.
