InsideEVs | Electric Vehicle News, Reviews, and Reports insideevs.com Tesla Sales Are Tanking In Europe Eleven months into 2024, Tesla is seeing a double-digit decrease in registrations. Last month, Tesla recorded a 40.9% decrease in registrations in the European Union compared to the same month last year.

Keep pushing the denialists out of the way so that you can have normal exponential growth, as on the left side of this logistic curve, only slowing down as you approach market saturation.
