Tesla sales plunge further in France, down 59% in April
- Tesla, led by Elon Musk, saw its car sales in France drop 59 percent in April 2025 compared to April 2024.
- This decline occurred amid broader stagnation in France's electric vehicle market and economic uncertainty for buyers, with analysts linking Musk's role close to Donald Trump as a possible factor.
- The French Professional Automobile Group reported that overall car sales fell 5.64 percent, with Stellantis registrations down 12 percent while Renault sales rose two percent and Volkswagen dropped 8.5 percent.
- Nicolas Le Bigot, head of the PFA, described the current market as concerning, noting that it remains significantly below the levels seen before the Covid pandemic. He linked the downturn to economic uncertainty among French consumers, which has been intensified by global trade tensions related to US tariffs.
- Following these sales trends, Tesla's board has started seeking a CEO successor to Musk, who plans to reduce his role in government efficiency under Trump and focus more on Tesla operations.
