Admittedly EV sales dropped 70% because of changes to the tax benefits.
But still Tesla declined among the other brands, after for the longest time keeping their market share in Norway pretty steady while declining across the rest of Europe.
For comparison to the 83 cars sold by Tesla, VW ID.3 sold 299 cars, and the Tesla model Y was only ranked 6th. That's how much behind Tesla is now, from its previous leading position.
Congratulation Norway for finally waking up to the fact that Tesla cars are actually pretty bad, with 45% of 4 year old model Y failing the mandatory safety check in Denmark. So you might as well buy a better car, and as a bonus not support Elon Musk fascism.
How much did EV sales drop if you don't include for Tesla? That might be an interesting number

A month where sales are below 20% of the usual sales isn't repreaentative.
