It’s possible that among Finnish inspection statistics, Giga Mexico, and years-old FSD videos, I may have specifically mentioned some country statistics. I don’t consider that a major deviation from the general line of this forum.
However, I disagree on the actual matter—Tesla is not losing in sales to its main competitors, especially if the “overall picture” is limited to Europe. Surely the “overall picture” defined by Tesla and the main competitors themselves is global.
Car sales are seasonal, and the common way for investors to track them is quarterly YoY (Year-over-Year). The main competitors in Europe are Europe’s own car brands, and their YoY growth falls significantly behind Tesla’s 44.9% growth now in Q1. BYD is growing better with hybrids, and Alpine perhaps cannot be considered a main competitor. If you see someone who has grown over 45% in Q1 or if you have better facts than the ACEA statistics, I’d be happy to take another look. So, what exactly is the completely wrong picture here?
