BYD registered more than twice as many cars as Tesla in April across the EU, UK and EFTA, extending its lead even as Tesla's European recovery continued.
ACEA data showed BYD's registrations jumped 115% from April 2025, outpacing Tesla's 47% increase and reinforcing the same pattern seen in year-to-date figures.
Tesla is banking on supervised Full Self-Driving to lift sales further in Europe after winning approval for a version of the system in the Netherlands, its first market there.
European regulators could vote in July on broader approval, which Tesla expects could support EU-wide rollout in the second or third quarter.

As Tesla's FSD gets its first European green light, what precedent does this set for autonomous driving regulation across the EU?
