Hype-speed ahead? Or is Tesla heading for a crash landing?

Episode #3216 July 2025

Tesla once defined the future of electric vehicles. Now, it’s watching that future slip away. Sales have dropped across key European markets, even as the wider EV industry grows. Sweden, France and the UK all recorded major declines in Tesla sales, while Chinese rivals like BYD are gaining ground. Elon Musk’s political alignment, increasingly vocal and polarising, may be part of the reason.
