Tesla Inc.’s sales plummeted 59% last month in Germany, adding to indications that Chief Executive Officer’s Elon Musk political activities are hurting the carmaker’s business in major electric vehicle markets.

Tesla’s (TSLA) sales in Germany plummeted 59% in January after only 1,277 new cars were registered, the lowest monthly total since July 2021.

Tesla's sales in Germany plunged 60% in January 2025 compared to the same period last year, as CEO Elon Musk's recent controversial public behavior appears to be alienating European consumers.
