Tesla's German Car Sales Continue Their Decline in February
Tesla experienced a dramatic drop in sales in Germany, with February figures showing a 76% decline compared to the previous year, even as overall electric vehicle sales rose significantly. The company sold only 1,429 cars during the month, marking an even steeper fall than the 60% decrease recorded in January. Analysts suggest that the decline may be linked to CEO Elon Musk's political affiliations, which could be affecting consumer sentiment in Europe.
