You mean to tell me that Tesla was the best selling car in Europe in 2023? I kinda fail to believe it..

I kinda fail to believe it..

Why? Tesla had exactly two models that actually sold well, 3 and Y and for large stretches of time they were good value. And, more importantly, actually available. Everything else they do is basically a rounding error.

It's a bit like the Apple effect, if you only sell 1-2 phones of course they are going to be the "best selling models"

That's a surprising top 2. There's about 30000โ‚ฌ price difference between the Tesla and the Dacia.
