¶ “Tesla Sales in Germany Actually Still Down Enormously” • We could say that Tesla sales rose in Germany last month. However, that’s essentially just cherry picking. Tesla’s 2,276 sales total in February 2026 is indeed up from 1,429 sales in February 2025. But it’s really not growth. It’s still massively down from the 6,038 sales in February 2024. [CleanTechnica]
