Part 2/8:
The initial survey reported that most participants were not only uninterested in buying a Tesla but had little faith in the company's prospects in Germany. The survey findings, which were widely reported by major media outlets, painted a picture of a struggling brand in a crucial market. At that time, only around 3% of respondents communicated an inclination towards considering a Tesla for their next vehicle.
It was believed that this response reflected deep-rooted concerns among German consumers about Tesla’s practices, product offerings, and brand reputation. This narrative of Tesla’s decline in one of its key European markets seemed largely accepted and uncontested, at least until the results of the latest survey surfaced.
