Summary
Tesla’s registrations in France dropped 63% in January, their lowest since August 2022, far outpacing the broader total EV sales’ 0.5% decline.
Tesla registrations across EU countries fell 13% last year, with Germany accounting for much of the decline.
Sales in Germany, Tesla’s biggest European market, also fell 41% last year due to an aging lineup, competition, and subsidy cuts.
CEO Elon Musk’s political involvement, including support for Germany’s far-right party, may be affecting demand.
Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi share platforms. Mexico has Peugeot and Citroen. Who knows, maybe the Canadians will open up to the French automobile brands as Mango Mussolini continues to fuck GM, Ford and Stellantis (North American operations).
Mexico may have French brands, but here in Sonora (I live in on the USA side), I’ve never seen any. Actually learned something new haha.
I’ve see a single Renault up here in Canada every summer for the past few years and the one time I got close enough I saw it had Mexican plates on it.
