One of the issues with these percentage stats is that we were not as big of purchasers of Tesla as the rest of Europe so it's going to be harder for us to have as large of drops.

If you look, France has dropped that much just to catch up with us.

Even before the others dropped you were 3rd most out of 8.

Now you're 1st most.

Germany still has higher sales than us, and we aren't much higher than France, but I'm not trying to make excuses just pointing out that percent comparisons aren't great. I think we could all do better in getting Tesla sales down to zero.

The graph is missing headers so not sure, but UK’s numbers are highest here

Yep, the screenshot of a clipped screenshot is pretty bad. I agree.
