Tesla UK sales plummeted 57% year-over-year in January 2026. Only 647 vehicles were registered.
This decline reflected a broader negative trend across Europe. Sales in ten major European markets fell by a combined 31.6%. Norway saw an 88.0% drop, and the Netherlands fell 66.9%. The data suggests increasing pressure from competitors like BYD and challenges from Tesla's aging vehicle lineup.
In contrast, the company reported positive results from China. January sales of China-made vehicles rose 9.3% year-over-year. This totaled 69,129 units. This marks the third consecutive month of year-over-year gains. However, this figure decreased 28.9% compared to December's sales numbers. The mixed results highlight a complex global market and strong headwinds in Europe for the automaker.
