Tesla New Car Sales Fall Over 25 Percent in Italy Amid European Market Decline

Tesla is experiencing a significant decline in new car sales in Italy, with registrations falling by 25.6% year-on-year in September, marking the fifth consecutive month of decline and resulting in a market share of just over 1%. Year-to-date sales in Italy have dropped 32.36% compared to the same period last year, totaling around 13,000 vehicles. Despite these challenges in Europe, Tesla's U.S. sales have risen, with September marking a 4.8% increase from the previous year and the highest monthly registration figures of 2025. The rise in U.S. sales is partly attributed to the federal EV tax credit incentivizing purchases before the deadline. Meanwhile, Tesla's sales in China also showed steady growth in September. However, experts warn of potential difficulties ahead for Tesla in the coming quarters, particularly in Europe, even as the company boosts production at its Berlin Gigafactory to meet global demand.
