I collected some sales numbers from Europe for October. It's not complete. September was more than 224K (at least the data from the markets that I could find). October is still missing Austria and Belgium, which could add 10K, also Russia, Iceland, Slovenia, Slovakia, and some other Eastern European markets. But the main ones are covered. The main reason for lower sales, apart from October being the first month of the quarter, is that UK sales were only 2/3 of the October sales. This is probably due to the fuel shortage in September, which lead to a temporary spike in EV sales. European sales in November should exceed September sales again.
