    Nearly 50% of vehicles sold in Australia in the last quarter were EVs or plug-in hybrids: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08-02/electric-vehicle-ev-s...

    I wish the article was written in a better way. It throws put many percentages in different contexts. 50-26-37-41- …

    Not saying any particular number is wrong, just wishing it was a clearer way of writing.

    Why would anyone buy a Tesla in 2026?

      Price? They are quite cheap these days relative to comparable cars from other manufacturers.

    What are their sources? How are they defining Europe?

      They don't seem to link their sources (that's bad) but the general numbers seem to match The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) report for H1 2026 [0]. They include EU + EFTA + UK.

      I'm not entirely sure why you're getting downvoted. I wasn't able to find a source for the data but it is probably new vehicle registrations. Europe here seems to include Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Switzerland.

          Typically European Union vs Europe.

          they’ll get included again if they order a few humanoid robots that will be shipping by 2078
