Current studies point out that Tesla gross sales have dropped considerably in California and a few European markets. Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s manic dash into right-wing politics within the US and Europe appears to be a key affect right here. Nonetheless, so is the truth that the corporate nonetheless has simply two mass-market merchandise (the Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y), and whereas these fashions have simply gotten facelifts and inner tech updates, these adjustments are cool however aren’t wonderful. Within the meantime, different automakers maintain rolling out new mannequin after new mannequin.
On the plus facet for Tesla, the Mannequin Y has been the highest promoting electrical mannequin in Europe for the previous couple of years, and that was even earlier than the facelift and tech upgrades.
With all of those various factors up within the air, one in every of our behind-the-scenes hotshots from Europe had an fascinating concept. He proposed we ask readers what number of gross sales Tesla will lose in Europe in 2025. I made a decision to make the title and survey rather less spicy, however I’m very curious to see how a lot individuals suppose the elements above — particularly the plain one — will have an effect on Tesla’s enterprise in Europe.
I don’t wish to affect opinions an excessive amount of, however it does appear essential to supply the next perspective from an professional on these issues, José Pontes. The next is from his report on December gross sales figures for these two fashions in Europe (the 2 finest promoting EVs in Europe in December):
“#1 Tesla Mannequin Y — The 2022 (and 2023, and 2024…) finest promoting EV in Europe had a stable 28,679 deliveries in December, a 15% enchancment over the identical month final 12 months. With a refreshed Mannequin Y coming quickly, with incremental enhancements in all the proper locations (though the design may very well be thought of debatable), count on the crossover’s domination to proceed in Europe all through 2025. Though, with competitors getting stronger by 12 months finish, 2026 could be the primary 12 months when the Mannequin Y should work exhausting to maintain the throne.
“#2 Tesla Mannequin 3 — Tesla’s sedan had 15,360 deliveries in December, which was a 17% enchancment YoY. With its sibling Mannequin Y going by a refresh quickly, count on the sedan’s gross sales to drop in 2025. It might probably finish the 12 months at round 105,000–110,000 gross sales.”
Total, the Mannequin Y had 211,397 gross sales throughout 2024 in Europe, whereas the Mannequin 3 had 113,783 gross sales. So, collectively they mixed for about 325,000 gross sales. However the query is — what number of will promote in 2025? Chime in right here to supply your opinion:

I’m curious to see what individuals suppose will occur with Tesla in Europe this 12 months! In fact, we don’t even know what’s but to occur, what Elon Musk is but to do. So, except for desirous about the results of what has already occurred, in making a forecast, one should make some assumptions or guesses about what Elon Musk will do and say within the remaining 10 months of the 12 months.
