Germany is a smaller market than the US/China for Tesla. Secondly EV sales have fallen worldwide, so stats stats and damned stats!


EV sales didn't drop by 41% worldwide though, stats, and stats!

Germany is definitely a smaller market than US/China but it's not an insignificant market that can be ignored, losing in it is missing on profits.


Tesla's EV sales in France decreased by 60% in January. In a context of a stable market for EV. Germany alone is small but the trend is present in a lot of EU countries ( Sweden, Denmark and Norway).

For reference, Germany was the third biggest market for Tesla (1/10 of China). France was 4th (1/10 of China too) and Canada was 5th (1/11 of China).

It's not the end of Tesla, but it's politically related.
