That suggests that Tesla sales in March were only just over 3,000 cars.
VW BEV models are unsurprisingly selling well.
Tesla's share of the BEV market in Europe appears to be dropping again as more popular BEVs are available.
Will a delay in the German plant be a problem? At the moment the California and Chinese plant can easily meet European demand.

In March:
Tesla sold 3,699 Model 3's, 2 Model S's and 2 Model X's.
VW sold 708 e-trons, 96 etron GT's, 409 Taycans, 594 Citigos, 6 Enyaqs, 2260 ID.3's, 872 ID.4's, and 3599 e-UP's for a total of 8544 pureblood BEV's.
ETA: Total BEV sales were were 30,101 so 28.4% of those were VW's compared to 12.3% Tesla
But this is a quarter month, for the quarter I'm seeing:
Tesla: 6074 (9.4%)
VW: 19,564 (30%)
Where are your figures coming from and for what nations?
The March European sales I have for Tesla are:
https://carsalesbase.com/europe-tesla/ 23,881
Meanwhile in the US an estimate of what they sold:
https://carsalesbase.com/us-tesla/66,000/3 = 22,000. This site no longer breaks out monthly sales for Tesla, only giving quarterly.
In China they sold:
https://thedriven.io/2021/04/12/tesla-s ... -in-china/70,000 in the first quarter, if equally divided = 70,000/3 = 23,000 in March.
If these rates of sale remain static then expect per year that Tesla will sell: 12x(23,881+22,000+23,000) = 826,000
One should remember that the re-vamped S & X are not currently being sold and the Y has not reached everywhere and new factories in Germany and US are not yet producing.
