The Nordics are not all the same, Norway is far ahead (20% of private cars already full EVs) of the rest with Denmark a distant second when it comes to electrification of transport.

But also the Tesla Model Y was the best selling car in the WORLD in the last twelve months, not just Norway. Of course quite a few of those were built outside the US so perhaps they don't count as US cars.

Norway is special. 94.3% of new cars sold last month were electric cars.

Actually, in the private marked it was 96.7% !

I know, I live there. Been driving electric since 2017.

China is the biggest auto market in the world and also produces the Teslas they buy domestically.
