    Hopefully it’s sustained but in general it’s a bad idea to look at Monthly Data because it’s more volatile than quarterly data - heavily affected by shipping and OEM registration practices, especially with Tesla. In UK Tesla always starts a quarter slow and finishes stronger.

    Edit: here you can see what I mean: generally 3000 vehicles sold in the first month of a quarter, then 10 times that by the end of the quarter

      Tesla was caught in Canada generating fake sales to grab government subsidies. Tesla is supposed to be build-to-order, but CDN Tesla stores all have hundreds of cars parked unsold in huge lots.
