Tesla’s vehicle sales in Germany fell by 76% in February compared to the same month last year, according to data from the German road traffic agency KBA, marking a sharper decline than the 60% drop recorded in January.
KBA reported that Tesla sold 1,429 cars in Germany last month, even as overall electric vehicle sales in the country rose 30.8% to 35,949 units. The agency did not provide reasons for the sales decline.

The drop in Tesla’s German sales follows similar trends in other European markets. Recent data showed significant year-on-year declines in Tesla deliveries across Scandinavia and France in February.
Tesla’s sales performance in Europe has drawn scrutiny, with some analysts pointing to CEO Elon Musk’s public support for far-right parties, including Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD), as a potential factor. The automaker’s sales across the continent were down 45% in January from a year earlier.
