After writing about Tesla’s 10% drop in sales in the UK despite the UK EV market rising 24%, and BYD passing up Tesla in the UK in annual sales last year, a reader pointed out some extra jaw-dropping stats. The reader, “manes,” posted the numbers for Tesla in Germany in the past 5 years.
If you get nauseous looking at gory scenes, turn away now. Here’s what “manes” shared:
“Numbers from Germany:
* 2025: 19,390
* 2024: 37,574
* 2023: 63,685
* 2022: 69,965
* 2021: 39,714
Wowza! Tesla sales in Germany, the largest auto market in Europe, dropped 72% in 2025 compared to Tesla’s best year in that country, way back in 2022
After 2022, Tesla had a modest but clear drop in sales in 2023, and then they had a huge collapse in sales in 2024 — which Tesla was supposed to bounce back from last year thanks to the refreshed Model Y coming to town — but that wasn’t the end! Sales dropped even significantly further in 2025, dropping almost 50%!

Turns out the people who actually lived through the horrors of Nazi Germany have a dim view of Nazis. Who knew?

Everyone is saying because Elon is a dick… it’s not that, the EU market has been flooded by cheap Chinese EVs. It’s also hurting domestic EU car manufacturers. The EU is preparing new tarries on car imports from China, but they won’t be ready before summer.

China has the market Tesla failed to serve. Tesla needed the Model 2 and a stripped Tesla Semi chassis to sell to carbuilders to be fitted for the EU market. Same as what Tesla needs for North America. Instead Elon bought Twitter.

Need to work on the 28% left. It’s just amazing that Musk wiggles his ass about things like work from home saying it’s basically immoral. But it’s not immoral to throw up a Nazi salute that causes people to stop buying his cars and puts no telling how many people out of a job. Insanity. I hope Tesla goes under.

Why would anyone buy a Tesla at this point given Musk is an out of the closet white supremacist? When you buy a Tesla you’re quite literally giving Musk funding to implement his deranged agenda. The same can be said for SpaceX, Starlink, and any other business owned by Musk. And if I worked at any of these companies, I’d be looking for a very quick exit.

Get every Tesla off the road by shaming excluding and ostracizing Tesla drivers

The US tariffs will make Tesla rich.

Well, Tesla dug their own grave with their customer service during peak times. I know cause I’m one of the idiots who bought one in 2022. I’ve never suffered such an atrocious service, not even with airlines or telco operators.

Why aren’t shareholders already shouting “Replace the CEO!”?

Elon must be made a cautionary tale.

At the current rate Germany’s domestic auto industry is declining, I could see Tesla buying out Volkswagen within the next 5 years. Then we will have a double “Nazi” car company selling clean air, zero emissions vehicles that are helping to prevent climate change but people won’t buy because of ideological reasons. 😱 🥹

The fact that they are genuinely considering shuttering Giga Berlin is mind boggling.

Nice. Now if we can all join together and say no to musk trump jr. this would be an epic story to roll in years to come. Were the world citizens took down one of the richest people alive.
Then we start with another trillionaire person and so on. Let’s take back the wealth.
