@FediThing Here's the numbers from that article:

"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."

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/24/tesla-sales-eu-slump-elon-musks-donald-trump-byd

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."

And the impact is likely to be a triple-whammy, given carbon credits are a major source of Tesla's profits: https://social.vivaldi.net/@ajsadauskas/114217003220367536

@GrueneVictoria #BEV ist bescheuerter als #Brennstoffzelle, aber beides ist schlechter als #Elektrifizierung!

@tikibunnyimports TBH, this thing is such a cute lil #Microvan that I'm shure some folks would just #BEV-convert it into some smol #camper or just swap in some small engine that isn't worse in terms if #emissions to make it run again.

• I sadly have beither space nor budget to do so, but if I had I'd consider it.

@burger_jaap Sounds to me like a cleverly designed win-win proposition. Saving on grid costs partly used to lower ‘fuel’ costs of #V2G, #V2H #BEV vehicle and home battery owners.

@Jerschte @gimulnautti Corsa ≠ rocks-e

I have #Corsa, but not Corsa "#HardMode" aka. #BEV...

RYC was such a good boy on his trip to that there London (ok around it) I gave him a bath

And found a OBD BT dongle in the shed that works with ABRP, so no 3 hour out of date battery data now! Should make long trips even more relaxing

I arrived home safe and sound and surprisingly relaxed. The #e_Niro was faultless. Quiet comfortable relaxing to drive in grotty weather with all it’s safety, guidance and smart cruise control systems

Even 20 minutes of crawling through rush hour traffic didn’t require me to do anything other than press go if we came to full stop. I just enjoyed the music which sounds great

3.8 m/kWh at 6-8 DegC points to well over 4 being easily achievable in summer.

Car needs a wash now

Day 2 was a short hop down to near Gatwick to my mum’s storage unit to check on some stuff with my uncle

Then the long drive back home

I hate the M1 so went Dartford Tunnel and M11. Lucky as the M1 closed for a police incident and I’d have been caught up in the congestion.

Stansted Services had no chargers free so I diverted to Sainsbury’s Smart Charge in Huntingdon where I stayed for 50 minutes to get back to 80% and more than enough charge to get home I hoped.

Second stop was to stay at Ramada by Wyndham at Cobham Services £35 and a Pizza Express next door

I charged the car back to 80% as I checked in and threw by bags on my lovely room before I ate. Ionity was more or less tap phone to pay too, once I’d worked out where to tap. Ie the low level out of eye line car reader not the big tap here to pay icon up by the big screen

3.5 m/kWh at 3 DegC with cruise set at real 62 mph seems pretty good to me.

Made the first charge stop just before the store closed so I had time to go in for wee stop and buy a cof bottles of beer for later

Set Cruse at real 62 mph and lost range over the car’s estimate (expected as it doesn’t usually do motorway blasts) but comfortably beat ABRP’s wild guess

Plug-in-&-tap-phone-to-pay worked first time. I’m b lining for Smart Charge charging whenever I can.

I’ll let the car get to 80% before I set off as I’m in no rush
