While doing a product change over of their best selling vehicle.
Sales are still down, almost certainly because of Musk, but it's not as dire everywhere like that either.
E.g Spain where sales were bad and people like to cite a large number, was up 60.7% in June YoY. When you look at H2 2024 vs 2025, now it's only down 0.9%. 2024 was already a low year, so being lower than 2024 isn't good, but it's not like a monthly number makes it look.
They are still down in nearly every market yes, but you trying to imply its 50% in so many places and things are dire would also be shoddy journalism not taking into account the change over.
The UK for example only started getting the new Y in June, lets see what the UK in Q3 looks like with a full quarter of Y deliveries. It'll be down, but how much down.
Edit: Some clarity and other examples, but I also want to add, see how much more complicated an article can get rather than just focusing on the Cybertruck objectively on it's own?
Edit: Also you can't even buy the Standard Range RWD Model Y in all markets yet (~5k USD cheaper), but again, not that this alone will reverse the generalized sales decline induced by Musk.
