Tesla launches Powerwall battery in Ireland as its car sales rebound to take top spot in June
Briefly

Tesla's performance in car sales for 2025 has been inconsistent, with early struggles placing it 17th in the Irish market but rebounding to reclaim the top spot in June. The company's Model 3 emerged as the best-selling car, accounting for one in eight sales. Despite this, the overall international sales show a downward trend, highlighted by a 13.5% decrease in quarterly deliveries. Factors contributing to this volatility include production changes at the Berlin factory and challenges linked to Elon Musk's political endeavors.
Tesla's new energy storage device, priced at €8,500, can store energy from home solar panels and the grid, accommodating up to four units.
Tesla's Model 3 topped Irish car sales in June with 12.5% market share, despite a sales slump earlier this year that ranked it 21st for 2025.
The brand's struggles in car sales may be linked to reduced Model Y production at the Berlin factory, coinciding with a 13.5% drop in global deliveries.
Tesla's overall international sales continue to decline, experiencing the second consecutive quarterly drop due to brand damage attributed to political activities of Elon Musk.
