Tesla ships cars to different regions in waves.

The previous months were primarily going to US customers (partly due to an ongoing pandemic). Notice how deliveries to Europe will spike in follow-on months as ships arrive.

Tesla tends to have very vocal fans and haters. Each month there is a different article highlighting how Tesla is in dire straights due to the precipitous fall in sales in X country. The next month an article will say how Tesla crushes competitors in X market.

"With another wave of deliveries in the Netherlands, Tesla Model 3 has become the best-selling car in the country for the year as it now surpasses 10,000 units.

Since the European launch of the Model 3 earlier this year, the vehicle clearly reinvigorated Tesla’s sales on the continent."
