Tesla's European Sales Slide for 13th Straight Month, January Registrations Down 17% YoY

Tesla continues to face mounting pressure in the European market. According to the latest data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), Tesla registered only 8,075 new vehicles in Europe in January this year, a 17% year-on-year decline—marking its thirteenth consecutive month of shrinking sales. Rico Luman, Senior Industry Economist for Transport and Logistics at ING, described this performance as an "extremely weak" start to the new year for Tesla. Analysts attribute Tesla's worsening situation in Europe to intensifying competition, the rise of locally produced electric vehicle models, and heightened consumer sensitivity to pricing and government subsidy policies.
