The bigger part of Tesla's business in Europe is that each car sold is used to sell carbon credits to polluting companies. Less cars sold means less credits earned to sell to polluters.

Not selling Tesla EVs might almost be better for the environment as the companies will either have to pollute less or find another (actual) environmentally responsible carbon credit creator.
