While Tesla’s global sales have taken a significant hit during the first quarter of 2025, the electric vehicle (EV) brand has seen a boost in sales in Ukraine.
Increased competition from lower-cost Chinese EV manufacturers have made Tesla prices more affordable for some Ukrainian consumers.
According to Ukraine’s Association of Car Manufacturers, the demand for electric vehicles was on the rise in February and March, with Tesla leading in sales of used electric cars.
Translation: used Teslas are now so unpopular, that only people regularly bombarded by Russia are willing to buy them (they probably dustrust Chinese cars more).
