Read MoreHide Full Article

Key Takeaways

  • Tesla's November registrations plunged in France and Denmark, with the Model Y sliding in popularity.
  • Spain saw an 8.75% registration drop in November for Tesla, though year-to-date sales remained higher.
  • Tesla's European market share fell to 1.6% as Model 3 gains in Denmark failed to offset Model Y losses.

Tesla’s (TSLA - Free Report) vehicle registrations in France and Denmark fell sharply in November. The registrations dropped by about half compared to last year, as the company continued to lose ground in the European market despite introducing updated versions of its popular Model Y, per Reuters.

Registrations in France declined 58% to 1,593 units, while Denmark saw a 49% drop to 534 units, with the Model Y ranking only 23rd in popularity at 206 units sold.

Per industry group ANFAC, Tesla’s November registrations in Spain slipped 8.75% year over year to 1,523 vehicles. However, January to November sales in Spain were still up 5.56% from a year earlier, even as overall sales of electrified vehicles, including EVs and hybrids, doubled.

Tesla’s share of the European market fell to 1.6% between January and October, down from 2.4% during the same period last year. The decline underscores the brand’s ongoing slump, despite its Model Y SUV being the top-selling vehicle in Europe and globally as recently as 2023.

Tesla introduced cheaper variants of the Model Y and Model 3 in October, although the new Model 3 is not yet available in Europe.

In Denmark, Model 3 registrations rose 29% in November to 326 units, making it the eighth best-selling car. Meanwhile, Model Y registrations tumbled 74%, according to data from Bilstatistik.dk.
