Tesla (TSLA) UK Sales Plunge Following Brief Stint as Sole Positive Market in Europe?

Tesla’s electric vehicle sales have plummeted in the UK, bucking the trend of a dismal first quarter in Europe where it was once the only bright spot.

e first quarter of 2025. Tesla’s deliveries have plummeted across every European market except for one.

Despite being an outlier, the UK saw a notable 6% surge in Tesla’s gross sales during the first quarter.

Tesla has been offering significant discounts on Model Y lease deals in the UK compared to other European markets as previously disclosed.

In addition to this, electric vehicles (EVs) have been exempt from the “luxurious automobile tax” for cars priced £40,000 or above, but the exemption ceased on April 1st, 2025, prompting individuals to purchase more EVs in Q1 2025.

Tesla’s UK sales are plummeting at an alarming rate.

The market’s April registration data has been officially released, confirming

The figure has plummeted by 62% compared to the same period last year and a staggering 65% since the start of Q1.

As the latest Model Y hits the market, Tesla remains inventorying dozens of heavily discounted pre-owned Model Ys in new stock across the UK.

Tesla’s reputation has taken a significant hit over recent months, largely due to the controversy surrounding its CEO, Elon Musk’s, increasing political activism.

Elon Musk is widely perceived as having enabled the ascendance of fascist and authoritarian tendencies within the US through his financial and ideological support for Donald Trump, who has consistently disregarded judicial orders, prioritized deportation over due process, and exploited his office to further his personal interests and those of his allies.

Electrek’s Take

Oh oh. The UK’s economy, once a beacon of stability, now teeters on the brink of collapse, its reputation as a safe haven in global uncertainty tarnished by the sudden and unexpected downturn. While numbers fell short, a decline of 62% over last year is notable. That’s not trying good.

As Tesla’s European dominance wanes, it’s transforming into a niche player.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, a small yet persistent group remains convinced that this phenomenon is merely an illusion.

While each quarter’s first month typically sees a decline in stock compared to the remaining months, Tesla managed to buck this trend by increasing its stock at the end of last quarter; additionally, we’re comparing it to the same month from the previous year, which was also relatively low.

Tesla shareholders have long maintained that the Q1 decline was solely a consequence of the Model Y transition.

Tesla claims that its manufacturing operations have returned to normal, but others predict that the introduction of a “budget-friendly model” by Voigt could disrupt this stability once more.

How? Tesla’s European gross sales plummeted by a staggering 50 percent. Are you suggesting that shipping a bare-bones Mannequin Y to the mainstream market would pose problems for users? According to reports, the maximum expected impact on Tesla sales in Europe would be a relatively modest reduction of approximately 30%, compared to 2024, when another year of decline is anticipated for the company.

The relentless pursuit of electric vehicle innovation is puzzling, as the industry’s pioneers, such as Tesla, have long set the bar high; however, the imperative to accelerate this shift away from fossil fuels will not lead to catastrophe.
