It no longer rules the EV-market, but is still a significant contender.<br /><br />That there are plenty of Model 3s on offer also needs to be modified somewhat. Right now there are plenty of inventory cars available on the Tesla website in Norway. But that has varied throughout the year, with no cars available for long periods of time. That has probably hurt the overall sales numbers, since with plenty of competition byuers don't want to wait for delivery. But when the deliveries arrive the sales numbers shoot up, indicating that there is still a solid demand for the car, and they don't sit around waiting for buyers.
