    VW group is leading in Denmark now on EV, and is now almost twice as big on EV sales as Tesla!!
    But the laugh gets better if you read on.
    Because Skoda and Audi are closing in too, only 10-15% behind Tesla, and those are also owned by VW, and then just to cement their dominance, they also have Cupra with about half the sales of Tesla, and just for shit and giggles, they also have Porsche, which is the only luxury brand on the EV list besides Mercedes.

    For January Model Y has dropped from being #1 sold model to 6th place!!! With WV group having 4 models that are more popular than Model Y!!
    Model 3 is way down the list, so it’s not just people waiting for the new model Y. Tesla sales are plummeting for real.

      This is good news overall but Denmark is just a population of 6 million. Let’s hope the trend continues elsewhere

        Yes Denmark is small, but sales of Tesla in France are down 64%, Norway, Denmark and Sweden are all down more than 40%, and Germany 59%.
        So this appear to be a pretty strong European trend. And although Denmark and Norway are small countries, we have pretty big EV marketshare with 50% of cars sold are EV in Denmark, and AFAIK close to 90% for Norway.

      I’d kinda like to get a VW, but jeez they are boring as cars. Boring is sometimes good in traffic of course, but a difficult thing when trying to make up your mind at the dealership.
