Tesla Captures 45% Of Electric Car Sales In Europe In March

1/40 new cars sold in Western Europe were electric in March.

Sales of new passenger electric cars in Western Europe reached new record levels in March and in the first quarter, mostly thanks to a full month of volume deliveries of the Tesla Model 3.
With around 44.8% market share among BEVs, Tesla is a new undisputed market leader, although not as dominant as in the U.S., where 75% share was achieved in March (which is not even a record).

Tesla continues to dominate EV sales around the world, noticed the 1 VW offering (audi) is having trouble making them because they cant get batteries, so the dominance will keep going for awhile

According to a report on TV this morning China's BYD sells more EV's in China than Tesla sells world wide.

Hardly "taking over the world".

"BYD, which built the battery in your ’90s cellphone, now produces more EVs than anyone—and it wants to sell them to you, soon."

Over 145,000 Tesla Model 3 sedans were delivered in 2018, making it the single most popular electric car last year, followed by Chinese carmaker BJEC’s EC180 and 200 EV models and Japan’s Nissan Leaf.
Along with deliveries of premium stablemates, the Tesla Model S sedan and Tesla Model X SUV, the Californian carmaker has in total sold just over 245,000 vehicles in the last twelve month, confirming its place as the world’s most successful electric car manufacturer.




And this year they are taking over Europe and even been the best selling car in some countries last month, little on best selling EV.

Tesla Model 3 was the top selling car (of any type) in the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland last month. Furthermore:
It was the #1 luxury car in the USA in Q1 2019,
the #1 small or midsize luxury car in 2018,
the #1 electric vehicle in the USA in Q1 2019 and all of 2018,
the #1 top selling car in California in the second half of 2018,
the 11th best selling car in the USA in 2018 and the 13th best selling car in Q1 2019,
the #1 best selling car in the US in terms of revenue in Q4 2018,
the #1 best selling car from an American car company in the second half of 2018,
and together with the Model S accounted for 20% of US luxury car sales in 2018.

Ohh and not much to brag about but they are the best selling EV's company in Australia as well.

China is next and with the 3 new vehicals its working on, it will a intersting next few years for them

In a Friday filing, Tesla said it had actually raised $2.34 billion in an underwriting deal spearheaded by Goldman Sachs. Tesla sold shares worth $737 million and convertible notes worth $1.6 billion. Underwriters will have the option to buy an additional $350 million in stock and debt over the next month.
In recent months, skeptics have argued that Tesla's debt-laden balance sheet and disappointing financial results would make it difficult for the company to raise more money. But this week's results laid those concerns to rest.
Stock prices often fall when a company announces plans to sell more shares, as the sale dilutes the value of the company's stocks. But Tesla's shares bucked the trend, rising about four percent on Thursday—the first trading day after the sale was announced—and another four percent on Friday.
The show of confidence from Wall Street may also give Tesla breathing room in another way. Over the last year, some critics warned that Tesla was becoming such a basket case that it might struggle to raise money at all and be forced into bankruptcy.

So when Tesla need more cash, they raised 700 million more than they asked for and all sold in2 days, there stock raised 9% as well.

Not going broke yet, 11 years of constant bankruptcy must be working
