No surprise.  Apart from the usually cited reasons - an aging lineup and 
Elon Musk's highly public and controversial political positions - EV 
competition is sharpening in Europe.

Another reason, IMO, is that Tesla effectively offers only 2 very similar 
EVs in the EU.  Both M3 and MY are, by European standards, large and 
somewhat expensive.

Maybe if Tesla offered a wider line of EVs, from small and affordable (under 
25k euros) to large and comfortable, they'd have an EU market share more 
like the EV manufacturers that do, such as VW, Stellantis, Renault, and 
Hyundai.  

But they don't, so they don't.

     If you made a column of things you're pretty sure you know, and 
     then made another column of how you know those things, most of 
     that column is like: "Some guy told me." It's just clickbait 
     and hearsay.  Goes into the head, locks onto a feeling, you're 
     like: "That sounds good. I'm gonna tell other people that." And 
     that's how brand marketing works, and also fascism, we're 
     finding.
