what do these percentages mean? is that stock value?

[–] lesatur@lemmy.wtf 4 points 7 hours ago

For most countries that are the percentages the numbers of new car registrations by brand went down compared to same month last year.

As these are published monthly by the respective countries we can get a glimpse at the new car sales for each brand. In Germany for example in February 25 there were 76% less new car registrations Tesla compared to February 24. Meaning there were 76% less new Tesla sold than a year before.

Probably sales from the looks of the numbers, which is way more important.

It’s a bit dramatic though, as much of the drop is from competition.
