Tesla's monthly sales in Europe doubled.

In May, Tesla's European monthly sales doubled. The electric car manufacturer, led by Elon Musk, is regaining momentum in this region where Chinese competitors continue to seize market share. Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association show that last month, Tesla's new car registrations in the EU, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland doubled compared to the same period last year, reaching 28,610 vehicles; in the EU market alone, sales doubled to 21,767 vehicles. May marks the fourth consecutive month of sales growth for Tesla in the European market. For over a year, Chinese car manufacturers have been aggressively expanding while Tesla's sales have been declining, but now consumers in the market are once again accepting its full range of electric vehicles. According to ACEA statistics, February of this year was the first time Tesla saw an increase in new car registrations year-on-year since December 2024. In addition to the competitive pressure from Chinese car manufacturers and the market resistance to consumer shifts from fuel vehicles to electric vehicles, Tesla was previously embroiled in a consumer backlash, as Musk was simultaneously involved in government efficiency and Trump administration affairs, leading to dissatisfaction among many users. The latest data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association shows that local European car manufacturers are steadily recovering and returning to growth, but the pressure from Chinese car manufacturers remains strong: BYD saw its new car registrations more than double last month, reaching 32,380 vehicles; Lixiang Automotive saw a nearly fivefold increase in registrations, to 9,945 units.
