This article is a bit of bs.
Tesla ships their cars from the US on a schedule, when that schedule doesn’t match up with a certain month, you see a big sales drop, since there are no cars to sell.
You also get a lot of articles when that happens

- clouddrover 6y ago> This article is a bit of bs. Here are the year to date sales for Europe: https://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/08/europe-july-2020.html https://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2020/08/europe-july-2020.html The Renault Zoe is the best selling BEV in Europe so far this year by quite some margin. The Zoe has outsold all of Tesla's European models combined. The article is not bs.
- noodle 6y agoWell, both things can be true, making the situation more complex and therefore the article a bit misrepresentative in both directions. It sounds like the Zoe is outselling Tesla in Europe. It also sounds like Tesla sells every car they ship to Europe.
- BenoitP 6y agoYep. The Zoe statistics are to be taken with this grain of salt: this is not the same market. It is a model designed for urban use ('citadine' in french), it costs about 24000€. And I'd say it appeals more to the eco-conscious than to the "EV have full torque from zero speed" crowd. IMHO Tesla is doing the right thing here: begin with low volume from the high-margin high-end side of the overall market (think the iPhone beginning). I'd not be surprised to see a Zoe equivalent once the Tesla factories start having significant production in Europe.
