A survey conducted by the German media outlet T-Online has unveiled startling findings: an astonishing 94% of respondents have categorically rejected the idea of buying a Tesla. This sentiment has translated into a significant decline in Tesla sales in Germany, with a year-on-year drop of 41% and an even more precipitous decline of 70% at the start of the year. The reasons behind this sales slump are multifaceted, encompassing heightened market competition, the refresh of the Model Y, and the widespread dissatisfaction among the German public regarding Tesla CEO Elon Musk's meddling in local elections and his support for far-right political parties. Notably, even with the introduction of the new Model Y, sales of the Model 3 have also suffered, suggesting that the issue extends beyond a single model and indicates a broader shift in consumer sentiment.
