UK and Italy are evidently full of bastards.

Thatโ€™s not how percentages work.

It's not, but there's probably another proportion of the overall community that are "I like Musk and I have money, so I'm going to buy a car". That number isn't related to the previous number of sales, so if sales are already low that "arsehole" number would become more significant.

It's a made up example, but just saying there may be ways in which the sales won't drop below an absolute number.

Not sure about figures but thereโ€™s plenty on UK roads.
