Tesla's global sales fell sharply during the first quarter of 2025 amid fallout over Elon Musk's role in US politics, but the electric vehicle (EV) brand remains in demand in Ukraine due to a recent drop in prices.

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.
