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. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.

And that's how brand marketing works, and also fascism, we're finding. -- Marc Maron = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = _______________________________________________ Address messages to [email protected] No other addresses in TO and CC fields HELP: http://www.evdl.org/help/
