Tesla sales crash in Europe: Is Elon Musk’s support for Trump to blame?
Tesla's electric car sales in Europe have plummeted, down 49% in just the first two months of 2025. While EV demand across the EU is soaring, Tesla’s market share has tumbled to just 1.1%. So, what’s driving this massive slump? Industry analysts point to a mix of an aging vehicle lineup and growing backlash against Elon Musk’s close alliance with US President Donald Trump. With Musk now heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), critics say his political involvement is damaging Tesla's global brand.
