94 percent of Germans don't bother buying a Tesla anymore

A survey of more than 100,000 Germans reveals that 94 percent of them could not dream of buying a Tesla today.

At the factory outside Berlin, management says that production is running at full capacity. But if you ask the Germans, they'll say no thanks to Tesla.

In a survey of more than 100,000 Germans, 94 percent of them responded that they could not dream of buying a Tesla today.

This is reported by T-Online .

The survey was conducted among the media's readers, and it is here that the overwhelming majority respond that they could not dream of touching a Tesla today.

Just 3 percent responded that they were actually considering a Tesla as their next car.

Tesla's popularity was expected to decline

That Tesla's popularity is declining in Germany is perhaps not so surprising. It has long been expected that the brand would lose ground to European brands in particular as they ramped up their electric car offerings.

What is truly surprising, however, is that it is actually the Chinese who have eaten up most of Tesla's otherwise gigantic lead.

To add to the chaos, Elon Musk's support for US President Donald Trump and the Tesla director's obvious support for the right-wing German party AfD must be added.

Sales figures show that Tesla lost 70 percent of its market share in Germany in the first two months of 2025. And this even though the German electric car market is generally recovering from a 2024 when all state support for the car type disappeared. Read more about it here.

The question is whether Tesla can hit back with the facelifted Model Y. This is where the management of the Berlin factory says they are running at high pressure.

According to the German media outlet Handelsblatt, the brand's inventory of stock cars is also at an all-time low. And not like in the US, where Tesla's stock of cars could be seen from space last year.

Here at home, things are also looking bad on paper. Tesla's sales have recently fallen by a whopping 58 percent. Significantly more than in both Sweden and the electric car paradise, Norway.
