Autos trade group Mobility Sweden said new vehicle registrations of Tesla models were down 80.7% in April amid a backlash against the political activity of CEO Elon Musk.
Tesla registrations were 203 in April, down from 1,052 a year before.
It was one of the worst-performing automakers for the month in the Nordic country, and sat in contrast to an overall 11% rise in new passenger vehicle registrations to 24,292.
Polestar Automotive, a Swedish electric automaker and one of Tesla’s competitors, saw its sales hit 535 in April, an 11.5% increase.
I was going to buy a Tesla in 2021, the only reason I didn’t was I needed a car immediately and they had a several month waiting list. If it had been available, I would’ve taken it. Even test drove one. Now, I will never buy a Tesla. I would rather have a Rivian anyway.
