Tesla's sales in Europe fell by 49%, despite 27.8% growth in the demand for electric cars, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). Model Y renewal attempts did not led to sales, and Tesla's market department fell to 0.7% in Europe, 1.3% last year.
Sales of total cars in Europe have decreased by 0.3%, while the demand for electric cars and plug-in hybrids continues to grow. The Chinese Saic Motor and Mitsubishi showed growth, respectively, 24.5% and 22.1%, while Mazda decreased by 24.5%.
Tesla's sales are linked to the strong competition between the CEO Ilon Musque and the strong competition of European and Chinese rivals. At the same time, EVs make up 59.2% of the sells of Passenger Car, from 47.7% last year, Reuters reports.
