Fast forward to today, and things have taken a sharp downturn. After seemingly abandoning this lofty goal mid-2024, the company has also seen its first annual sales decline in a decade. Now, Teslas sales are continuing to slide in several major markets, including Germany, Australia, and, of course, China.Earlier this week, we reported that Tesla sales in Norway collapsed by 44.4% through January and February, despite the countrys overall EV market growing by 53.4%. Things are even worse in Germany. New data from the KBA Germanys Federal Motor Transport Authority shows that in January 2025, Tesla sales plummeted by 59.5%, with just 1,277 new cars registered in the country.Read: Tesla Sales Crash Up To 63% In European Markets, Is Musk Or New Model Y To Blame?The situation only worsened in February. Sales were down a staggering 76.3% compared to February 2024, with just 1,429 units sold. Through January and February, Tesla has delivered 2,706 vehicles in Germany, marking a massive 70.6% drop from the same period last year. Teslas decline is even more pronounced when you consider that overall BEV sales in Germany climbed 30.8% in February.Aussie SlowdownAustralia isnt much better. Data from the nations Electric Vehicle Council shows that Tesla shifted 1,592 vehicles in February, a massive 71.9% decline from the 5,665 sold in February 2024. Through the first two months of the year, Tesla delivered 2,331 vehicles to Australians, a 65.5% decline from the 6,772 vehicles sold over the same two months in 2024. Its worth mentioning that the highly anticipated, heavily updated Model Y has just started being sold in Australiathough only in the premium (A$73,400) Launch Edition variant, with the standard version still unavailable. So, the sales slump isnt entirely surprising. Even so, the outgoing Model Y saw a 55.4% decline, shifting only 924 units. Meanwhile, sales of the refreshed Model 3 are down a dramatic 81.4%, with just 668 cars sold. It seems Australians arent quite as eager to embrace the Tesla dream as they once were.Chinese Struggles And then theres China, where things are also looking grim for Tesla in one of its most important markets worldwide. Preliminary data from Chinas Passenger Car Association reveals that Tesla built and sold 30,688 vehicles in February 2025a 49.16% drop from the 60,365 cars moved in February 2024. This total includes both domestic sales and exports, but its clear that Teslas Chinese market share is shrinking. When you factor in competition from local EV manufacturers, the picture becomes even murkier.Its safe to say that Teslas global growth trajectory has hit some roadblocks. While the company remains a leader in the electric vehicle space, its once-unassailable dominance in key markets is showing signs of distress. Whether its product fatigue, the controversial nature of its CEO, market saturation, or just bad timingespecially with the transition surrounding its best-selling vehicle, the Model Y, the shine is definitely starting to wear off.
