March 5 news: According to the latest figures released by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, Tesla's sales in Germany plummeted by 76% in February, with only 1,429 vehicles sold during the month. This dramatic decline is attributed to the political stance adopted by Tesla CEO Elon Musk ahead of the German federal election, which appears to have alienated a significant portion of the electorate. In contrast, the overall number of electric vehicle registrations in Germany increased by 31% in February. In the run-up to the election, Musk lent his support to the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, known for its anti-immigrant stance, pro-Russian views, and criticism of the country's political establishment. Despite the AfD securing the second-highest number of votes in the election, Friedrich Merz, who is poised to become the next prime minister, has publicly stated his intention to distance himself from the party. Statistics reveal that in the first two months of this year, Tesla's sales in Germany and France, the two largest electric vehicle markets within the European Union, declined by 71% and 44%, respectively.
