Tesla has seen its European sales collapse by one-third this year as the carmaker's boss Elon Musk stirs up controversy across the Continent.
Figures published by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed Tesla sold 109,879 vehicles in Europe between January and June.
This was down 33 per cent from the 164,569 vehicles it sold over the same period in 2024 across the EU, EFTA countries and the UK.
Mr Musk, the world's richest man, has been blamed for making Tesla unpopular in Europe due to his political interventions.
He previously allied himself to US President Donald Trump - prior to a dramatic falling-out - and has regularly championed Europe's far-right political parties.
