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.
Traded my Tesla for a Polestar 3. While it does have some weird software quirks and issues, it’s overall been great. Tesla has had a long time to polish their software compared to just about everyone else.
I expected software issues from a company still early into their ecosystem, but it’s base is Android Automotive so it’s not entirely the terrible in car systems like most legacy automakers.
