🚀 Tesla's dwindling market dominance

Hey S3XY 🧤, In Germany, Tesla's year-to-date sales have experienced a notable decline of approximately 36%, despite the enticing 0% financing offer by the company. This downturn holds significant implications for Tesla, particularly considering that Germany stands as the largest automobile market in Europe and serves as a pivotal hub for the company, given the presence of its Gigafactory within the country.

While some may attribute this decline to the cessation of government incentives this year, recent data paints a more nuanced picture. Although BEV sales in Germany for April 24 showed a slight decrease of just 0.2% points compared to the previous year, it's noteworthy that despite the discontinuation of subsidies, the BEV market share remained largely stable. This suggests that the demand for BEVs in the country may be on a trajectory of sustained or even improved growth.

Meanwhile, in Norway, another key market for electric vehicles, Tesla's Model Y experienced a drop in rankings, slipping to the fourth position with 700 units sold in April 24. The top spot was claimed by the Volvo EX30 with 1095 units, though priced around ~25% lower than the Model Y. Following closely behind were the Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.3, securing the second and third positions, respectively.

These various data points underscore a broader trend indicating that the demand for more affordable BEVs is not limited solely to the Chinese market but is also increasingly evident across Europe as a whole.
