Tesla’s European sales have taken a significant hit, with sales in Denmark and Sweden experiencing a sharp decline in June. According to recent data, Tesla recorded a 61.57% decline in sales in Denmark and a 64.4% decline in Sweden compared to the same period last year.
What’s Behind the Decline?
The decline in sales is a concern for Tesla, especially given the company’s previous success in other European markets, such as Norway, where the new Model Y has driven sales growth. However, the company has struggled with poor sales figures in several regions, including Canada, where sales have almost dropped to zero.
Expert Insights
Experts, such as Gary Black, managing director of Future Fund LLC, have expressed concerns about Tesla’s sales performance. Black predicts that Tesla’s Q2 delivery figures will disappoint, citing the potential for cheaper models to cannibalize sales.
Recent Developments
The decline in sales has also been accompanied by the exit of key personnel, including Omead Afshar, who was let go due to the company’s poor sales performance. The recent developments have raised concerns about Tesla’s ability to compete in the European market.
