Tesla had a massive head start and with something like cars where there are so many preferences it’s impossible for one manufacturer to own the entire space.
However the article is a bit click-baity as it was really about a decrease in sales for Tesla due to the pandemic, not because someone else outsold them.

I doubt you read the same article as me, because a) the article quite clearly states that the Renault Zoe dominates sales, b) Tesla doesn't even feature in the top 10 of EV sales in Europe, c) the analyst quoted in the newspiece stated that "Some of this can be explained by issues relating to the production continuity in California, but also by high competition from brands that play as locals in Europe.”
- amzans 6y agoI believe a decrease in sales due to the pandemic wouldn’t only affect Tesla. It affects every car manufacturer. So yes, Renault outsold Tesla :)
- brianwawok 6y agoExcept Tesla literally didn’t ship cars to Europe for a month? They just launched the Y and are rushing to fill US Y orders. This is like comparing two coders lines of code per day, but zoom in on the day one of the coders was out 4 hours for a doctors appointment. Good job, you proved a coder not at work doesn’t work as much as a coder at work.
