Tesla's European sales plummeted 49% in April, despite a 27.8% rise in overall battery, electric vehicle (BEV) sales. This decline coincides with increased competition from Chinese automakers and potential consumer backlash. The broader European car market remained stable, fueled by EV demand.

• Tesla sales fell for the fourth consecutive month.
• Chinese automakers SAIC & Mitsubishi saw growth.
• EVs now account for 59.2% of EU car registrations.
