New AutoMotive data shows that Tesla’s U.K. registrations in October 2025 dropped to just 495 units, a 51% year-over-year decline from October 2024. Market watchers attribute the drop to aging Tesla model lines and mounting competition from more affordable EVs produced by traditional automakers and Chinese entrants. The decline in Tesla’s U.K. sales comes amid broader softening in European EV demand, especially in markets like Spain and the Nordics. The data raise fresh questions about Tesla’s growth strategy in Europe, where cost pressures and shifting consumer preferences are increasingly favoring value-oriented alternatives.
