Tesla noted a great variation in its November 2025 performance throughout Europe, with registrations declining over several important markets, even while sales in one less but vital country, Norway, showed a remarkable surge.
In France, only 1,593 Tesla cars were registered in November, down about 58% year-on-year. Sweden’s registrations fell about 59% to only 1,466 cars. Registrations dropped by 49% in Denmark as just 534 new Teslas were registered that month.
Norway was a brilliant spot even as central European markets fell. Tesla registered 6,215 vehicles in Norway in November, almost three times the registration volume from the same month last year.
Between January and November, that surge propelled Tesla’s overall 2025 count in Norway to 28,606 vehicles, therefore eclipsing the past full-year mark of 26,575 units set years ago by a separate automaker.
A greater demand for the crossover Model Y drove much of Norway’s expansion; the Model Y gathered steam mid-year following the launch of an updated edition. In other European countries, on the other hand, Tesla’s new, less-priced Model Y models appear to have had little effect, at least for November, with demand still declining.
Multiple obstacles behind Tesla’s fall throughout Europe are cited by industry analysts. These include growing rivalry from other automakers, including new entrants providing competitive electric-vehicle solutions, and the impression among European customers that Tesla’s appeal has waned.
Still, the Norwegian surge highlights for Tesla in Europe a more intricate picture: as demand in bigger markets declined, a few nations with strong electric vehicle adoption and favorable policies, like Norway, are still providing a lifeline.

For Tesla, the split raises important questions on where growth may be rescued and if its plan of debuting cheaper variations and updated models would be sufficient to arrest the more general sales drop.
