Europe’s anger with Elon Musk grows like foam. Tesla pays the consequences with sales falls of up to 75%

by

Tesla has made its presentation of sales results And the news has not been what they expected: the sales of their electric cars They have plummeted during the last quarter, especially in Europe. Some investors have not been able to associate this fall to the political activism of the CEO of Tesla, and see in this fall the reaction of the markets to the Elon Musk support to the ultra -right parties of Germany and the United Kingdom. The Batacazo of Germany. According to data From the Federal Carriage Transport Authority of Germany (KBA), during the month of January 2025, Tesla only enrolled 1,277 electric cars in the largest car market in Europe. That represents a 59.5% drop with respect to sales of the previous year. The fall in sales of Tesla in Germany contrasts with the number of enrollments of battery electric vehicles (BEV) in that country, which amounted to 34,498 units enrolled, increasing the figure by 53.5% compared to the previous year. That is, the Germans They have bought more electric carsbut these cars were not from Tesla. The decrease in sales in the withdrawal of incentives for the purchase of electric cars can be attributed, but this theory would be ruled out because that would impact all electric cars. However, the Chinese manufacturer Byd has been the great beneficiary of the Tesla stumbling, increasing its sales by 69.1% during the same period. It is not an isolated case. Such a pronounced fall in a single market can be attributed to certain economic factors. However, when the situation is replicated with generalized falls in the main European markets, the diagnosis also changes. According to published data By Electrek, Tesla’s sales fell 75.4% in Spain, a 63.4% in France46% in Sweden, 42.5% in the Netherlands, 40.9% in Denmark or 40.2% in Norway, a market in which the 90% of cars that are sold They are electric. In general terms, Tesla’s total sales fell 47.7% in Europe and a 7.78% in the United Kingdom. It is striking that, in California, a state where Tesla usually got good sales figures, Model 3 sales have also fallen 3. Everything points to a person in charge: politics. One of the reasons that different responsible for the European car industry have argued as an explanation for the decrease in sales of the brand is the political role of Elon Musk in the US government and Your explicit support to extreme right formations in Germany and the United Kingdom. The French medium France24 collected the statements Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Automotive Research Center in Germany, ensuring that the behavior of the Tesla CEO was being “extremely harmful” for the manufacturer in that country. “Nobody wants to be associated with this. Tesla and Musk are almost inextricably linked.” Tesla pays Musk’s invoices. The electric car manufacturer has become the objective of protests of different types in different countries in Europe. Behind him controversial greeting the public After Trump’s investiture, some activists projected The word “Heil” on the main facade of Tesla’s gigafactoría in Berlin. The Everyone Hates Elon Group has been marking the London Tesla with adhesives in which it reads: “Don’s Buy to Swasticar“(Do not buy a car-esvastic) and disseminating it In your social networks. Investors begin to worry. During the last quarter, the manufacturer has registered a decrease in its revenues of operations with 1.6 billion dollars, compared to the 2.1 billion dollars declared in the same quarter of 2023. Before this fall, investors were worried about the political facet by Elon Musk and its negative effect on the brand, as well as the time that your Doge in front paper. After all, Tesla pays Musk’s salary, not the US government. CNBC collected Some of those investor questions: “How long does Elon Musk do to grow Tesla, solve products and generate value for shareholders compared to their public commitments with Trump, Doge and political activities?” Asked one of the Retail investors present. Other investors asked if Tesla had “lost sales due to Elon’s political activities” and wondered how the company was going to “respond to Musk’s Nazi infamous greeting and how the negative impacts of Elon Musk’s public opinions and public activities are being addressed ” None of them received a response from the directive.

Apple has entered 124.3 billion dollars, 4% more than the same quarter of the previous year. Good news for the company that arrives accompanied by some peculiar data that is worth reviewing. The iPhone falls. A little, at least. He iPhone This quarter has generated 69,138 million dollars, a small reduction with respect to the same quarter of last year, whose sales amounts to 69,702 million. It is a drop of almost 1%. The same happens with the division of wearables, home and accessories, which having generated more income than the Mac or the iPad, has been below the anterior quarter: 11,747 million in the Q1 of 2025 compared to 11,953 million of 2024 The fall is 0.98%.

Apple Intelligence is not available in China or Chinese, although from the firm they have ensured that they plan to launch more languages ​​in April, being the simplified Chinese one of them. iPad Pro (2024 | Image: Xataka Speaking of the Mac and iPad. It has been a great quarter. Both the iPad and the MAC have grown 15%, something that makes sense if we take into account the good performance of the Apple M4 and that in 2023 they did not launch a single iPad model.

Only iPad have generated 8,088 million dollars, a figure that increases to 8,987 million in the case of Mac. Subscriptions work.

by

Just two months ago we reviewed all the key dates of the Xiaomi first electric car. The Chinese company has managed to put an electric shielding car capable of compete on paper With brands like Tesla but also with firms that have always seemed more inaccessible, such as Porsche. Then we explain that the project was barely three years old when Lei Jun, CEO of the company, The Xiaomi Su7 definitely showed ushe First electric car of the company. That December 28, 2023 we could not imagine that in just one year we would have seen Xiaomi dispatch tens of thousands of units (almost 90,000 reservations in just 24 hours)get A record in nürburgring And, directly, present a Second SUV body. A meteoric advance that has ended up finding last December. In the last month of the year, Xiaomi has ended up taking an important bite in the sales of the electric car in China. It is an advance of what will come in 2025. A small victory that plays Tesla placed Specifically, it has been in December and in the electricity sedan market where Xiaomi has managed to overcome Tesla Model 3 as one of the best -selling cars. Collect in CNEVPOST That the Xiaomi Su7 delivered 25,815 units last December 2024, compared to 21,046 units delivered to Tesla Model 3 by Elon Musk’s company. The result is especially relevant since Tesla’s electricity directly competed with vehicles that cost a very small part of its price. The Xiaomi Su7 was launched with a price of 215,900 Chinese yuan (about 28,500 euros) slightly below the 235,500 Chinese yuan (about 31,100 euros) of Tesla Model 3. But, above all, especially far from the rivals it has for on. The Xiaomi Su7 was the fourth best -selling electric sedan in the country. Above it had Wuling binguo (30,757 units) that barely costs 75,800 yuan (10,000 euros), the Hongguang Mini EV (37,747 units) with options in the market where the car is acquired without battery and subscribes to it (lowering the price at a ridiculous cost of just three or four thousand euros) and the Byd Seagull (48,754 units) authentic Reference in the small electric car market and Chinese cheap with a price of 69,800 yuan (9,220 euros). The result of the Xiaomi Su7 in this first year has been exceptional. Lei Jun confirmed these days that the car had sold more than 135,000 units in the first year. To get an idea, the sum of All electric cars in Spain have added 65,478 units. December is a warning to Tesla of what can be found in the coming years. The month of December is always a month where the company of Elon Musk delivers more vehicles (it usually does so in the last months of each quarter) but this year it seems that it stepped on the accelerator to try to avoid what finally happened: Sell ​​less cars than the previous year for the first time in its history. In this final push, Tesla got record figures in China, Delivering 657,000 units in 2024. Only in December managed to place in the Market more than 83,000 vehicles. In spite of everything, from Xiaomi, figures that will approach those of Tesla are advanced by leaps and bounds. Lei Jun not only confirmed that Xiaomi had put on the market More than 135,000 vehicles In 2024. In addition, he ventured that in 2025 they will get Sell ​​300,000 cars. That would leave Xiaomi in a 45% production of what Tesla sold in China last year. That is, it is still far but in two years they hope to place almost halfway from the company of Elon Musk. To understand how this impulse is possible, it is expected that half of the year Xiaomi will throw its first electric SUV. He Xiaomi Yu7 It will fight directly with the Tesla Model and, just when Chinese buyers seem to be turning their backs on foreign manufacturers in favor of the premises. We will have to wait to know to what extent The soda in the image of the Tesla car It is enough to remain one of the best -selling cars.

Xiaomi makes history and overtakes the Tesla Model 3 in sales

by

When Xiaomi officially announced its first electric car, the Xiaomi SU7more than a year ago, many thought that it was going to be an absolute failure, a multimillion-dollar investment that was going to end up in the trash. And when Lei Jun, CEO of Xiaomi, announced that the goal of the SU7 was to surpass manufacturers already established in the sector such as Tesla or Porsche, some even doubted its leadership capacity. Far from being intimidated, Lei Jun bet even harder on this project, and the results are visible. The Xiaomi car is an absolute success, to the point that one of Lei Jun’s prophecies has already been fulfilled: The Xiaomi SU7 has sold more than the Tesla Model 3one of the most popular electric cars in the sector. There is some fine print, of course. The data, shared by Lei Jun himself on his official account on the Weibo social network, refers only to the units sold throughout the month of December 2024, and only in China; Obviously, if you look at annual sales and on a global scale, Tesla is still the undisputed leader in the sector, and that probably won’t change in the near future. Even so, this is still a surprising achievement, and something that the vast majority probably did not imagine could happen. The reception of the Xiaomi SU7 was very good, with long lines just to see the car in person, and a waiting list of several months to receive the vehicle. In fact, the reception was better than the company’s own executives expected, and the company had to correct its forecast of 100,000 units sold per year. Finally, The SU7 exceeded 130,000 units delivereddespite having been released in March. In this way, Xiaomi has not only managed to surpass Tesla in the last month of 2024, it also surpassed one of the largest manufacturers in the world, Toyotaalthough only with regard to electric cars. Again, it is about an achievement that not many expectedand that has been obtained thanks to a product that offers an experience similar to the best, but with a much more affordable price. The success of the Xiaomi SU7 has allowed Xiaomi to continue investing in its automotive project. At the end of last year, the company made two important announcements: a new model, the Xiaomi YU7, and a new smart chassis which will be used in their future cars. It is the demonstration that Xiaomi is here to stay.
