Fact Check: "Tesla Motors Denmark had a turnover of nearly 1.2 billion kroner in 2019."
What We Know
The claim states that Tesla Motors Denmark had a turnover of nearly 1.2 billion kroner in 2019. To evaluate this, we need to look at Tesla's reported financial data and any relevant information regarding its operations in Denmark.
According to a recent report, Tesla Motors Denmark's revenue in 2022 was 5.3 billion kroner, which was a decrease from 8.1 billion kroner in 2021 (Danish News). However, specific revenue figures for 2019 are not directly available in the provided sources. The overall trend indicates significant fluctuations in revenue over the years, but without direct data for 2019, we cannot confirm the exact turnover for that year.
Additionally, the broader context of Tesla's global operations shows that the company has been experiencing substantial growth, particularly in electric vehicle sales. In 2019, the Tesla Model 3 was the top-selling passenger car in Denmark, which suggests a strong market presence (Electric Car Use by Country).
Analysis
The claim about Tesla Motors Denmark's turnover in 2019 lacks direct evidence from the available sources. While we know that Tesla's revenue in Denmark has varied significantly, the specific figure of nearly 1.2 billion kroner for 2019 is not substantiated by the provided data.
The source indicating Tesla's revenue drop in Denmark (Danish News) does not provide historical data for 2019, which is critical for verifying the claim. Furthermore, while the Wikipedia entry provides a general overview of Tesla's operations and market performance, it does not specifically address the financial figures for Tesla Motors Denmark in 2019.
Given the absence of direct evidence and the reliance on broader trends rather than specific financial disclosures, the reliability of the claim is questionable. The lack of specific data for 2019 means that we cannot definitively confirm or deny the claim.
Conclusion
Needs Research: The claim that "Tesla Motors Denmark had a turnover of nearly 1.2 billion kroner in 2019" cannot be verified with the available data. While Tesla has shown significant revenue fluctuations, specific figures for 2019 are not provided in the sources, making it impossible to confirm the accuracy of the claim. Further research into Tesla's financial reports or Danish business registries would be necessary to obtain precise figures for that year.
