Tesla Sales Fall in Germany and U.K. to Lowest Point in 2 Years

Tesla’s sales in Germany and Great Britain fell to their lowest point in more than two years in April, consolidating a broader trend of Europeans who avoid the American car manufacturer, despite the growing demand for vehicles with batteries in Europe.

The inscriptions of the new Tesla vehicles fell almost 46 percent in Germany and 62 percent in Great Britain since a previous year, Althegh, both countries reported increases in the number of electric vehicles sold in the same period.

Other European countries reported similar falls in the demand for Tesla products, with new records in Sweden lunch more than 80 percent, while demand in France fell more than 59 percent.

Some experts have indicated that the deliveries of the most recent version of the popular model and of Tesla have not begun to be completely implemented in Europe, which could be contributing to the decrease.

But others say that the last numbers are proof that the reaction against President Trump’s rates, which is feeding a European impulse to avoid US products and anger of the executive director of Tesla, Elon Musk, for supporting the extreme right parties.

“April European data strongly indicate that this is more than a change of change of change, and the European problems of Tesla are more deeply rooted and vote from Mr. Musk,” said Matthias Schmidt, an Autotehots analyst. The European.

Great Britain has been special has been a hot point for satire and Antimosk art, which helps feed the recoil against the American brand, which once dominated sales of electric cars in much of Europe.

Norway, where Tesla has played an essential role in helping the country to achieve its goal that all new vehicles sold are not emissions at the end of this year, it was an atypical case. The inscriptions of the model and increased in April.

But more than half of them were for used cars, not the latest updated juniper version, according to the Norway Road Traffic Information Council. He pointed out that Tesla’s participation in the market, which dominated for a long time, had passed to 11 percent, below 18 percent of the previous year.

“Tesla is not close to the level we are used to, you cannot pretend otherwise,” said Oyvind Solberg Thorsen, director of the Council.

Chinese manufacturing electric vehicles continued to grow in popularity in Europe. Byd, for example, recorded an increase of 755 percent for April in Germany, despite the import rates of 27 percent of the European Union. In Great Britain, where the EU rate does not apply, the sales of the Chinese company increased 311 percent.

Volkswagen in Germany has also seen a recovery in Europe, with a greater demand for its vehicles and sales with batteries rather than double in the first quarter of the year.

“The tide seems to have turned in Tesla, and Europe at least seems to be advancing or back to inherited manufacturers who have updated,” Schmidt said.

Last month, after Tesla reported a fall in profits or 71 percent in the first three months of the year, Musk said he would spend less time in Washington and focus more on managing his companies.
