This is interesting! Spain and Portugal had in fact a slight rise where others had drops, just a few weeks ago in similar illustrations, but are now among the biggest drops. How can that be?

I make a point of never trusting internet information until I personally verify it. Particularly these maps, which are nearly always incorrect or misleading. The internet is full of worthless information. Mining for diamonds is the only means of finding anything even bordering on worthwhile in this garbage pit filled with AI, spam, and propagandists.

My completely anedoctal reasoning is that at this moment Portugal and Spain have more pressing local fish to fry and the whole American issues are taking a backseat on the public discourse. Most people you talk to will be out of the loop over the DOGE, MAGA, nazi salute plot. Moreover the smaller volume of luxury car sales are also contributing to a lagged response. People who were going to buy Teslas made that decision a while back.

Different time frames. I think the illustrations where registrations/sales were up was for a time span of two months or so, but overall they're still down if you look at the time shown on this map
