"The Texas-based electric carmaker sold less than 16,000 vehicles across Europe last month, down 44% on average across 25 countries in the EU, the UK, Norway and Switzerland, according to data compiled by the research platform Jato Dynamics.
"Tesla’s market share fell to 9.6% last month, the lowest it has registered in February for five years. In January, its sales across Europe fell 45%, from 18,161 in 2024 to 9,945."
And just to clarify, that appears to be less than 10% of the EV market:
"Tesla commanded 1.8% of the total [car] market and 10.3% of the BEV market in February, down from 2.8% and 21.6% respectively last year.
"It sold fewer than 17,000 cars in the European Union, Britain and European Free Trade Association countries, compared to over 28,000 in the same month in 2024."
