    The company’s market share in the European Union, Britain and the European Free Trade Association slid only marginally to 0.8% in January from 1% in the same month in 2025.

    But that is still far below its 1.8% market share in 2025, 2.5% in 2024 and 2.9% in 2023, when its signature Model Y SUV was the world’s best-selling model.

    Puff piece… fuck Tesla and the Swasticars

      Yeah, the sales are very low and Reuters is juggling math to make it look like anything but a disaster for investors. This is bad journalism.

      “It is worse than we expected, but by seeing how bad it is, we can deduce how bad it could have been. And compared to that, it’s better than expected” 🤡

          It might look bad for a smart person, but as a potential Tesla investor, you must ignore the facts and embrace the infinite growth potential of… Haha look, a new edgy tweet by Mr Musk!

      I had the exact same quote in my clipboard to make a comment on. 😋
      How does that make any sense?
      Also the claimed increase in February doesn’t compared to when? Was it compared to February 2025, or January 2026?
      Because sales in January were near zero for Tesla, with a drop of 90% compared to January 2025!
      So if they increased 32% compared to that, it’s still incredibly low. I would imagine similar circumstances apply for France.
