Tesla sales in Europe slump 40% as BYD new car registrations more than triple

From TheGuardian:

Tesla sales slumped 40% across Europe in July compared with a year earlier as Elon Musk’s electric car company faces increasingly tough competition from its Chinese rival BYD.

Of course, Elon will whine about regulation preventing the marketing of his bold-faced lies about "full self driving," but the truth is he has 1) been absent from work for much of the past year, and 2) spent that time damaging the brand among the target-customer base.

Seems to me that Europe is Tesla's canary in a coal mine.
