My understanding is that it also affects other brands, particularly those with a lot of deliveries, as they are constantly getting new blocks of license plates from the authorities. The dealers that register a car every now and then will still be on the EK series.

Strange, I must admit I don't really understand Tesla's strategy anymore wrt international deliveries. They claim they want to smooth out the delivery process because it was placing too much stress on their after sales department, which is quite correct. And they were well on their way for Norway in Q2. The US federal credit issue gave them excellent cover to completely smooth at least Norway out. And then Tesla reverses not just 180 degrees but also backed it up some more by having a first month even slower than usual?
That is correct. We had EL first, and then EK. In July we had to change to EV and my program had a small bug so it did not get all the EV registrations. I'm working with it now and look like the final number will for Tesla will be 70. This is new cars and imported cars.
Thanks for your work on this @nasatech. You don't get enough credit around here if even me just now learns teslastats is your work. Norway is starved for ev cars if there is steady trickle of imports going on.
Thank you!! It's very nice to get feedback. Both negative and positive, but hopefully positive
I use a lot of time debugging, programming and maintaining these pages so I love it when people contact me on forums, mail, Messenger, Twitter etc.
For those wondering about Norway : Maersk Ohio contains shipment with cars for Norway. It just arrived in Bremershaven. Allowing for a few more weeks to transport to the correct delivery centers and we should see regular deliveries in Norway resume by the end of this month.

Tesla is on the board in Portugal. Although they have probably been losing money in Portugal hopefully grabbing mind share pays off when Model 3 lands in the Iberian Peninsula.

Good news! Looks like Tesla is preparing to bring Model 3 to Europe:
Tesla Registers 17 LHD Model 3 VINs — Comin' To Europe, Baby! | CleanTechnica
The VINs registered are Left-Hand-Drive and one digit indicates it is for EU. So obviously for Britain. I am actually surprised that the first EU VINs we are seeing are LHD. So it would seem they are bringing Model 3 to all of Europe at once? Most likely to make full use of selling the expensive Performance and AWD Models in as large numbers as possible as they are doing now for the US.
I am also surprised that there have been Model 3 in Australian show rooms already but not in Europe. Does that have to do with a (possible/likely) different charging connector?

That’s great to hear, hopefully we will start see them on the roads soon.
But if it is left hand drive, don’t you mean it won’t go to UK? Left hand drives goes to right side traffic and vice versa.

Netherlands registration numbers for August are already out: Exactly 400 S and 200 X, kind of funny. Also, the link page says "Verkoopcijfers september 2018" while the linked spreadsheet correctly says August. Anyway, that´s a really good result for a second month in a quarter, only beaten by March and June 2018. In 2017, highest was 599 S+X in December.
Just saw on reddit the Model 3 will be at Paris Motor show, October 4-14! See here: https://www.mondial-paris.com/en/visiteur/exposant/551/tesla
I am actually thinking about going there, a one-day ticket is 16 EUR. Would be fun to meet some of you!
