Tesla Faces Revenue Loss as Toyota and Stellantis Exit European CO2 Emissions Pool
Tesla Inc. will experience a loss of revenue starting in 2026 when Toyota and Stellantis exit its European CO2 emissions pool. This decision is expected to reduce Tesla's income from the sale of regulatory carbon credits, which have been highly profitable, generating around one billion euros in 2025.
Concurrently, Tesla's management is addressing production figure disputes, asserting over 200,000 Model Y vehicles were produced at its Gigafactory in Germany in 2025, despite media reports claiming only 149,000. The facility has produced over 700,000 vehicles since 2022.
Toyota and Stellantis are leaving the pool to meet emissions targets independently, while Tesla retains smaller partners like Ford and Honda. The situation has led to a nearly 10 percent decline in Tesla's stock year-to-date.
