> Tesla isn't even in the top 5 of EV cars sold in Germany anymore. Are you sure? Model 3 is the #3 best-selling in 2020 so far. https://cleantechnica.com/2020/12/03/german-ev-market-rockets-above-20-share-in-november/ https://cleantechnica.com/2020/12/03/german-ev-market-rocket... Tesla sends its cars to Germany by ship right now (previously from US, now from China). It arrives once a quarter resulting in lumpy numbers. Once their Berlin gigafactory is operational next year, the numbers will climb significantly and costs will decline. They might also release a EU-only model, possibly a hatchback, built in Berlin.

You are right, I was mistaken because of the table in this link: https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/verkehr/elektroauto-neuzulassungen-deutschland-oktober-gesamtjahr-2020/ https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/verkehr/elektroauto-neuz... The downtrend for Tesla is clear though, if you compare the quarterly sales. I doubt the Tesla factory in Brandenburg will change that. Tesla would have to release a new, smaller model for the European market. Now that buyers have a choice, they apparently choose the smaller, cheaper models available.
