Tesla sales drop in Europe because of political problems and supply issues.

Tesla's sales went down a lot in some European countries last month. This might be because Elon Musk is now running the car company again. Sales in Sweden, Netherlands, and Denmark fell a lot in April.

Sales also went down in France and Norway. These countries are not the biggest sellers for Tesla. But, the drop in sales could mean trouble in other places because of protests and boycotts about Musk's politics.

In Germany, sales went down a lot in the first three months of the year. Some people think this is because of Musk's political views. Other things hurting sales are old car models and new cars from other companies.

Tesla also had to close factories to make better Model Y cars. They are waiting for Europe to say yes to their self-driving cars. One expert thinks sales might go up when they get approval, but big sales drops are never good.

Musk said he will spend less time working for the government and more time at Tesla. The company's stock has gone up since then. But, profits went down a lot in the first quarter, and sales in Italy went up a little.
