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.

Tesla’s sales were down 70% in the first two months of 2025, and again, that’s compared to its already poor performance in 2024.

    The remaining 6 % of Germans are still 5 million. This number does not means what you think it does.

      Including babies, teenagers, disabled, elderly unable to drive and people banned from driving. This number does not mean what you think it does.

                6 % of 80-something million is 5 million. The poll did not ask babies, they are already excluded there. The subset of the total population will then be smaller too, but really not much changes: A whole fucking lot would still but it. Millions. That is the big problem.

                    So are there arguments or what? You either elaborate now or do not reply.

                    If we assume that I am too stupid to get it, it would be an asshole move to treat me like that.
