Tesla's vehicle registrations in Europe fell significantly in 2025, even as battery-electric vehicle sales surged across the region. Data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association shows Tesla's market share halving, while competitors like BYD posted massive gains. The contrast highlights intensifying competition in the shifting automotive landscape.

Tesla has delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, a 9% decline from the previous year, allowing Chinese rival BYD to surpass it with 2.26 million sales and claim the title of world's largest electric vehicle maker. The drop stems from backlash over CEO Elon Musk's politics, the expiration of U.S. tax credits, and intensifying global competition. Despite the setback, investors remain optimistic about Tesla's pivot to robotaxis and humanoid robots.
