Tesla Europe Sales Collapse: Market Share Halves as Chinese Rivals Surge

I’ve been documenting Tesla’s European decline all year, and the final numbers are in: it’s worse than even I expected. While the broader European EV market surged 27% in 2025, Tesla’s sales cratered 38.8% to just 129,000 units. That’s not missing a trend.

Porsche just confirmed the most expensive engineering admission of defeat in automotive history.
