Tesla's European Sales Dip Despite Booming EV Market

2025-09-23

While Europe's electric vehicle market is booming, with a 26% year-over-year sales increase in August, Tesla is experiencing a downturn in European sales. Data reveals significant drops in sales for the Model Y (34%) and Model 3 (29%). Although Tesla remains a top 10 EV maker in Europe, its market share is being eroded by brands like Volkswagen, which saw a 45% year-over-year sales increase in August. Despite Tesla's struggles, the overall European EV market remains robust, with August sales reaching 154,582 units, representing 20% of new car sales – enough to meet the EU's emission targets for 2025-2027.

This move aims to rescue the struggling Intel and secure the US government's domestic chip supply chain plans.
