Tesla Inc.’s registrations plummeted in Germany last month as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk irked voters taking part in the country’s closely contested federal election.

Tesla car sales in Germany fell by 76% in February, data showed on Wednesday, adding to the collapse in sales of Elon Musk's EV brand across Europe in what could be a loyalty test for the close ally of U.

It appears that Tesla sales are slumping in the U.S., too. According to the California New Car Dealers Association, Tesla registered fewer cars in the state in all four quarters of 2024. California is the largest EV market in the U.S. Tesla sales fell by 8 percent in the fourth quarter and 12 percent for the whole year.
