PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Nordic BEV penetration is already near 99%, and the market has shifted from an adoption phase into a stock-replacement phase. Tesla wins across the board on the strength of the Model Y alone, but its year-on-year share decline shows competitors are starting to carve up the pie. Expanding Berlin output is a pragmatic move to meet European demand, and it also hints that Tesla is treating Europe as a stable base to hedge volatility in other markets.
