Tesla sales faced significant declines in six major European EV markets in April, with drops as high as 81% in some countries.
Factors contributing to the decline include increased competition from companies like China's BYD and backlash over Elon Musk's political affiliations.
Countries like France, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, and Denmark experienced double-digit decreases in Tesla sales, while Norway and Italy saw some growth.
Tesla's struggle in the European market highlights the need for product innovation to compete with newer EV models and charging technologies from rival companies.
