Tesla Inc.’s (TSLA) European momentum reportedly weakened in November, with registrations in France and Denmark plunging despite the launch of refreshed versions of its best-selling Model Y.
According to a Reuters report, official data showed French registrations down 58% year-on-year to 1,593 vehicles, while Danish registrations fell 49% to 534 units. The Model Y, once the region’s top seller, ranked 23rd in Denmark with 206 units sold. While Model 3 registrations rose 29% in the Scandinavian country, Model Y registrations tumbled 74%.
The declines add to a challenging year for Tesla in Europe, where sales have fallen around 30% through October.
Norway was a bright spot for the automaker. Tesla saw a 175% increase in registrations to 6,215 new vehicles in November, lifting its year-to-date tally to 28,606 and reportedly exceeding the country’s full-year sales record, previously held by Volkswagen in 2016, with a month to spare.
Norwegian demand surged ahead of a scheduled EV tax increase from January, helping Tesla nearly triple its November sales from a year earlier in a market where fully electric cars accounted for 97.6% of registrations.
Retail sentiment on Stocktwits remained in the ‘bullish’ territory over the past 24 hours.
TSLA was down 1.2% in premarket trading on Monday. The stock had gained in the previous four sessions. Tesla stock is also on track to record its first monthly decline in four.
Year-to-date, TSLA shares have gained more than 10%.
