欧洲消费者仍不愿购买特斯拉——周三公布的数据显示，5月特斯拉在欧洲的销量已连续第五个月大幅下滑，这对曾寄望于埃隆·马斯克引发的不满情绪已平息的投资者而言是一记重击。
根据欧洲汽车制造商协会的数据，欧洲30国的电动汽车市场正大幅扩张，然而特斯拉上个月的销量却下滑28%。此前，这位亿万富翁首席执行官承诺上月将迎来“大幅反弹”，此次不佳表现更助长了投资者近期的抢购热潮。
周三，投资者竞相抛售股票，致使股价在午后交易时段跌幅超4%。
马斯克曾表示，一旦特斯拉完成工厂改造以生产最畅销车型Model Y的新版本，销量必将得到提振。但工厂改造已于数月前完成，新款车型也已全面推向市场。投资者如今寄望于预计今年晚些时候推出的更低价特斯拉车型能扭转销量下滑的局面。
总体而言，欧洲纯电动汽车销量较去年同期增长25%。德国电动汽车市场表现尤为强劲，尽管马斯克因在选举中公开支持极右翼、反移民政党德国选择党而激怒潜在买家，但该国电动汽车销量仍激增45%。
中国上汽集团（SAIC Motor）成为当月最大赢家，其在欧洲的电动汽车及其他车型销量增长38%，一举超越特斯拉，而一年前特斯拉在该地区的销量还领先于上汽。
上汽集团上月售出18716辆汽车，而特斯拉仅售出8729辆。
特斯拉销量下滑正值其在得克萨斯州奥斯汀市启动自动驾驶出租车服务测试的关键节点。马斯克称，若测试进展顺利，预计将迅速在其他多个城市推出该服务，且有望在今年年底前让多达100万辆自动驾驶出租车投入运营。
目前反馈大多积极，然而该服务仅投入十余辆汽车运行，部分乘客已上传乘车过程中出现问题的视频，其中包括一辆自动驾驶出租车驶入对向车道的画面。
美国联邦交通安全监管机构周二表示，正对这些视频展开调查。（*）

Europeans still aren’t buying Teslas with figures out Wednesday showing sales plunged for a fifth month in a row in May, a blow to investors who had hoped anger toward Elon Musk would have faded by now.
Tesla sales fell 28% last month in 30 European countries even as the overall market for electric vehicles expanded sharply, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association. The poor showing comes after Tesla’s billionaire CEO had promised a “major rebound” was coming last month, adding to a recent buying frenzy among investors.
They were selling on Wednesday, pushing the prices down more than 4% in early afternoon trading.
Musk had said Tesla was sure to get a boost once the company was done retooling its factories to produce a new version of its biggest seller, the Model Y. But that was finished months ago, and the new models are widely available. Investors are now hoping that a cheaper Tesla expected to be out later year will help reverse the sales decline.
Overall, battery electric vehicle sales rose 25% in Europe compared to a year earlier. The market for EVs was particularly strong in Germany, where Musk has angered potential buyers by publicly supporting the far-right, anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany party in elections. Overall EV sales there leapt 45%.
China’s SAIC Motor was the big winner for the month with its European sales of EVs and other kinds of cars jumping 38%. That has allowed the company to leapfrog Tesla, which a year ago was selling more cars in the region.
SAIC sold 18,716 vehicles last month versus Tesla’s 8,729.
The sales drop for Tesla comes at a crucial time for the company as it launches a test run of its driverless ‘robotaxis’ service in Austin, Texas. Musk says that if goes well, he expects to introduce the service in several other cities in quick succession and have as many as a million of the automated cabs on roads by the end of the year.
Reviews so far have been mostly good, but the service is limited to a dozen or so cars and some passengers have circulated videos of problems during their rides, including one showing a robotaxi heading down a lane for opposing traffic.
Federal traffic safety regulators said Tuesday they were looking into the videos.
