“**A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle.** It doesn’t bode well for the automaker, whose sales had already been falling off a cliff in the important European market.
In 2024, Tesla saw a 41% reduction in sales in Germany compared to 2023 despite EV sales surging 27% during the year.
This has already raised red flags about Tesla’s future in Germany, but it is nothing compared to Tesla’s performance so far in 2025.
There are many factors at play, including increased EV competition and the Model Y changeover, but in recent months, industry experts have attributed Tesla’s decline in the country to Germans being upset with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s meddling in local elections and promoting the far-right AfD party.
Musk is currently under probe in Europe for his political meddling, and his reputation has crashed in Germany after a couple of Seig Heil salutes at Trump’s inauguration and several questionable posts promoting fascist and Nazi ideologies.
These are impressive results, and they explain Tesla’s current sales in Germany.
Some Tesla shareholders hope that the new version of the Model Y will help reverse the trend, but those poll results don’t look good.
Furthermore, Tesla’s Model 3 sales are also crashing in Germany, which suggests that Model Y is not the only problem.”

I think a lot of Americans stand by the idea that something that looks like a Nazi salute is not really that serious (despite Elon not even apologising for it). For Americans this is a war that happened in a far away place, in Europe we can easily visit the camps where the Nazi’s murdered people by the millions. We understand where this hate goes and we will not put up with it at all.

If he would have pulled that shot while on Germany he would have gone to jail. It’s a criminal offense. Same goes for his latest bullshit about Hitler, Mussolini and Pinochet. But Musk is a wimp and a coward, he wouldn’t dare open his drug addled mouth.

Tesla just announced they’ll openly break German labor laws and keep the salary of employees certified sick. Well, they didn’t admit the first half of that, but it is what it is…

From the article:
“**A survey of over 100,000 Germans revealed that 94% won’t buy a Tesla vehicle.** It doesn’t bode well for the automaker, whose sales had already been falling off a cliff in the important European market.

This has already raised red flags about Tesla’s future in Germany, but it is nothing compared to Tesla’s performance so far in 2025.
[Tesla’s sales were down 70% in the first two months of 2025](https://electrek.co/2025/03/05/tesla-tsla-sales-crash-continues-in-europe-with-germany-down-70/), and again, that’s compared to its already poor performance in 2024.
There are many factors at play, including increased EV competition and the Model Y changeover, but in recent months, industry experts have attributed Tesla’s decline in the country to Germans being upset with Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s meddling in local elections and promoting the far-right AfD party.
Musk is currently under probe in Europe for his political meddling, and his reputation has crashed in Germany after a couple of Seig Heil salutes at Trump’s inauguration and several questionable posts promoting fascist and Nazi ideologies.
Now, a new survey of 100,000 Germans by [T-Online](https://www.t-online.de/mobilitaet/aktuelles/id_100629258/tesla-vertrauen-sinkt-drastisch-deutsche-kunden-wenden-sich-ab.html) about Tesla showed that only 3% of respondents would consider buying a Tesla vehicle:
