In a major shakeup for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, China's BYD has overtaken Tesla in European sales for the first time ever! 🎉 Data from Jato Dynamics reveals BYD sold 7,231 EVs in April—just 66 units more than Tesla’s 7,165. Talk about a photo finish! 📸
BYD’s sales skyrocketed 169% compared to last year, while Tesla’s numbers dropped nearly 50%. Analysts blame Tesla’s aging models and Elon Musk’s polarizing political moves for the slump. Meanwhile, Europe’s overall EV market grew 28%, proving the appetite for green rides is stronger than ever. 🌱
This isn’t just a BYD vs. Tesla story—Renault, Volkswagen, and BMW also outsold the U.S. giant last month. Could this mark a 'watershed moment' for Europe’s auto industry? 🧐 One thing’s clear: The EV game is getting hotter, and competition is charging ahead faster than a Tesla on Ludicrous Mode. 🔥
