Encountered Waterloo! Tesla Model Y's performance in the European market was dismal in May, falling from the top sales position to 18th place

News on June 25, popularAfter Tesla Model Y topped European electric car sales champion in 2023, it suffered a sales slide in just a few months. According to the latest report from market research organization Dataforce, in May this year, Model Y sales in Europe plummeted by 49% year-on-year, with only 10,582 units sold. The ranking also dropped significantly from the original top position to 18th place. Behind this decline phenomenon, there may be multiple complex factors involved. It is understood that European consumers' enthusiasm for purchasing electric vehicles seems to have cooled down. At the same time, some European countries have canceled their electric vehicle subsidy policies, which has undoubtedly brought a big impact to the market. In addition, a strike by Swedish dockworkers also affected Tesla's delivery capabilities, further dragging down Model Y sales. However, while Tesla is encountering difficulties, German giant Volkswagen is ushering in spring. In May, two models owned by Volkswagen, T-Roc and Golf, occupied the top two spots in the sales list respectively. Although T-Roc is about to face a facelift since its launch in 2017, its sales have still achieved a 12% increase compared with the same period last year, and it currently ranks first in sales. The evergreen

model Golf, after experiencing a period of sales decline, regained its market position with its latest facelift. Sales surged by 28%, successfully ranking second in the sales list. Dacia Sandero ranks third in this ranking. Although its sales fell by 10% compared with the same period last year, its overall performance was still strong. It had previously topped the sales list for five consecutive months. The sales figures currently announced have not yet been finalized. According to AutoNews, as various market statistics are gradually compiled, Golf is expected to surpass T-Roc and win this month's sales championship. According to the latest figures, the T-Roc sold 19,748 units, followed by the Golf with 19,333 units and the Sandero in third place with 18,676 units sold.
