Tesla sales continue to plunge in May 2025
- Tesla sales continue to plummet in May 2025, even though the sales decline slows in Europe (-28% compared to May 2024 compared to -50% in April), but this slowdown is mainly due to the growing demand for Tesla in Norway (+213% compared to May 2024, with 2,600 sales). It is important to note that Norway is one of the few European countries where Tesla sales increase in May 2025. All other countries see their sales decline compared to May 2024. Over the cumulative first 5 months of the year, the European results remain very poor, with a 37% decline in sales compared to the first 5 months of 2024. The volume loss reaches 5,457 units over the month and 44,521 over the cumulative first 5 months of 2025.
- While the situation seems to be improving in Europe (thanks to Norway, which now buys 90.5% of BEVs), it is deteriorating in China and the United States, which remain by far Tesla's two main markets.
- In China, Tesla sales will decline by 15% in May 2025 compared to May 2024 (compared to -6% in April 2025 compared to April 2024), losing 10,911 units over the month and 62,741 over the cumulative first 5 months of 2025, while the Chinese market continues to grow as a whole.
- In the United States, Tesla sales will decline by 19% in May 2025 compared to May 2024 (compared to -16% in April 2025 compared to April 2024), losing 9,700 units over the month and 25,410 over the cumulative first 5 months of 2025, while the US market continues to grow as a whole.
- In total, Tesla will decline by 18% worldwide in May 2025 and 19% over the first 5 months of 2025.
