Once allies, now rivals: Germany, France, and Denmark are hitting back at the US with tough tariffs that are shaking the global auto industry. Triggered by Trump’s 25% tariffs on European cars, this escalating trade war is hitting American automakers—especially Tesla—hard.
Tesla’s European market share has collapsed by 76%, with sales in Germany and Denmark plummeting as subsidies vanish and competition heats up from Volkswagen, Renault, and Chinese brands like BYD. Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory is running at less than half capacity, and analysts warn the company’s early advantage in EVs is disappearing fast.
But it’s not just about tariffs. Elon Musk’s political ties, controversial stances on climate laws, and his support for Trump have fueled growing backlash across Europe, contributing to Tesla’s falling popularity and stock price. Meanwhile, Europe is pivoting toward greater economic independence, strengthening ties with China, and investing billions to boost its tech and manufacturing sectors.
This video breaks down the full story behind the trade conflict, its impact on Tesla and the US auto industry, and what this means for the future of global trade and power.
