I'm looking at trends, not a single point of time. An EV sold is an EV sold, but Tesla's sales trajectory is clear in Europe and Scandinavia. Congrats on the ~6k vehicles in a month in Norway, but competition velocity is clear.
> In that month alone [October 2025], ~75k vehicles from Chinese brands were sold across the European Union, the UK, and EFTA nations, which include Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
Do you believe Tesla sales in this market will go up? If so, based on what? Or was this a one time event due to policy changes?
> Norway's overall car sales rose by 70% year-on-year in November as buyers rushed to dealerships ahead of a planned hike in EV taxes from January, with Tesla seeing an almost threefold increase compared to the same month of 2024.
"There is a bit of a car bonanza in Norway at the moment," OFV's CEO Geir Inge Stokke told Reuters.
