American electric car manufacturer Tesla is opening a new showroom in Timisoara this month. Its construction is nearing completion.
Tesla, which sold fewer and fewer cars in some European markets in April, is continuing its expansion plans in Romania. This month, the company will open a new showroom in Timisoara. Its construction is almost complete, according to orasul-timisoara.ro. At the same time, a service center will be opened near the showroom. This service center is expected to be operational from June.
In addition, Tesla could open a third Tesla showroom in Romania, in Cluj-Napoca, by the end of the year. Currently, Tesla has a showroom in Bucharest and two pop-up stores in Timisoara and Cluj-Napoca.
Sales of Tesla electric cars plunged in some European countries in April as Europeans buy more Chinese electric cars and some protest against Tesla founder Elon Musk’s political views, Reuters reports. Data previously published by the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) showed that Tesla registrations in Europe fell 28.2% in March from a year earlier. Recently published national data show that in April the number of Tesla registrations in Sweden fell 80.7%, to the lowest level since October 2022. In the Netherlands, the number of Tesla registrations fell 73.8%, while it dropped 67.2% in Denmark and 59.4% in France.
