Elon Musk’s brand sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024

Tesla continued a run of weak sales in the EU in November, with new car registrations of Elon Musk’s brand down a third, while Chinese carmakers’ sales soared.

Tesla sold 12,130 new cars across the EU last month, down from 18,430 in November 2024, shrinking its market share from 2.1% to 1.4%, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (Acea), a lobby group.

The Chinese carmaker BYD recorded by far the fastest sales growth, with registrations across Europe almost tripling year on year up to November, to 42,500. Chinese state-owned SAIC, the owner of the MG brand, recorded sales increases of 26% to push sales to 217,000.

      With the Ioniq/Ev6(3), their closest competition is the model y because it’s priced way above the model 3. The displays in the Korean EVs today are paltry and nowhere near as well considered as Tesla software. Tesla software is like using an iPhone, while everything else on the market is like using a flip phone. In the US, our available “Android” option is either Rivian or polestar (neither of which are in the model 3/y budget, nor as smooth and well considered as Tesla). There’s a reason why the model y was the most popular car on the planet until China started making cars with software to match. Here is the US, I would only buy an Ioniq/Ev6 if it were 20k because of how small the screen is and how bad the software is.
