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.

Stop. I can only get erect so much.

Tesla sales are up in China for 2024 by 8%. But the market is up just over 40%, So Tesla is also losing significant marketshare in China.

I predicted already spring 2024 that Tesla would lose marketshare, I think Musk being a moron has accelerated the process, but it would have happened anyway.

My new prediction in view of recent numbers is that Tesla will not only lose marketshare globally, but their sales will decline.
In USA things are not looking good either, AFAIK sales are down in California, and that's by far the biggest American market.

Elon Musk getting more and more erratic (crazy) will probably mean he makes some stupid decisions for Tesla, And Tesla may likely turn to deficits within 3-5 years.

The only hope to prevent that I can see, is the openly corrupt Trump administration saving him.

Yea. They haven't come out with anything groundbreaking in a long time and the reputation of the build quality is catching up. The last stint was that dumb taxi concept. My erection is only half chub right now but there's still hope.
