Tesla sales dropped 35% in San Diego, which sells more Teslas than many European countries
Tesla sales dropped 35% in San Diego County in the first two months of this year, according to new vehicle registration data.
So what?
Well, the US is Tesla’s biggest market. California is its biggest market in the US. And San Diego is the second-most-populous county in California.
For context, last January and February, Tesla sold more vehicles in San Diego — 3,687 — than it did in the Netherlands, Norway, or Spain. In the first two months of 2025, the Southern California county sold nearly as many Teslas as Germany, Europe’s biggest car market. Of course, sales have declined steeply there, too, following CEO Elon Musk’s unpopular forays into the country’s politics.
