Tesla’s logarithmic growth (that’s the inverse of exponential growth, in case you slept through it in school, like yours truly) continues in Germany. According to data released today by Germany’s automotive scorekeeper Kraftfahrt Bundesamt KBA, Tesla continues to dawdle in the bottom tier of German BEV registrations.
Tesla’s June 2025 sales were down 60% YOY in Germany, down 58.2% Jan-June. And that’s not because Germans forsake the battery-operated car. All BEVs were up 8.6%, it’s just that Tesla fell heavily out of favor. Brand kaputt, courtesy of the big destructor who’s starting a second career in politics.
The Top Ten of Germany’s BEV sales are dominated by the legacy dinosaur Volkswagen Tesla vowed to destroy. The allegedly refreshed Model Y, on which heavy-duty hopes of Tesla boosters were pinned, keeps disappointing. It landed on place 10 of the seller list, outranked by a Hyundai.
