The parent specified in Europe. It's a fact that in January 2025, European Tesla sales have had significant YoY declines, attributed to Musk's political activity. A greater than 50% drop in sales in France and Germany, for example.

Here are a couple sources.

I cannot read the FT article, but the nyt article says sales have halved, and are now under 2k per month in Germany.

So it sounds like their sakes were tiny before this halving. And with numbers that low, one ad campaign or new model by VW could change them.

His donations to parties in Germany seems like a weird reason why. He's done all sorts of things in the past, and sales went up.
