Tesla (D1 Chart)
Data shows that Tesla’s sales dropped sharply in Europe in April — down nearly 81% in Sweden, reaching the lowest level in 2.5 years. European consumers are buying more Chinese EVs, and Tesla’s sales have declined for four consecutive months in most European countries. In Q1, total fully electric car sales in Europe rose by 28%, while Tesla’s sales fell by 37.2%. Despite this, investors are hopeful that positive developments in U.S.–China talks may offer a sales boost in China and pave the way for the implementation of Tesla’s autonomous driving software.
