Bear in mind the drop in deliveries from Musk's fascist antics isn't even reflected in this data yet due to lag time between sales and delivery.

I agree, this is probably the effect of more competition from Chinese and other EVs, and the politics is not yet factored in.

These are figures from Europe. Musk's credibility was significantly damaged in Europe from early 2024, when he became an outspoken supporter of Trump.

Two people I know were holding off from purchasing Tesla cars last year, thinking that if Trump lost then the political views of Musk wouldn't really matter any more. As Trump won, one has bought a VW, and the other is continuing to wait.

You can’t compare to the US since the US doesn’t have Chinese cars and Europe does.
