Tesla is 28% full EV market and if you include Plug-in hybrids (you shouldn't) its 20% of the global market in the first half of 2020 and they have been improving their global market share consistently over the last couple years. But don't let real evidence stop you form selecting specific data samples that prove your point you want to make.

No company in its right mind could hold 30% of the total car market, but what is actually surprising is that unlike many analysis's predicted, their global market share has been going up. Maybe the next round of Tesla killer is finally gone do something.

You are comparing Tesla to the largest auto maker in its home market during a global pandemic where Tesla has to export their car from California (yes they are insane enough to build cars in California) and they have to pay tariffs.

Tesla is building a gigantic factory in the middle of Europe until then Tesla will not have the market leading position in Europe while all European companies dumb their vehicles in Europe first. I still expect Tesla to big a significant junk of the European market going forward.
