Is turkey considered part of Europe?

Asking as an American so I understand this.

Edit: thank you everybody that replied and my question is asked incorrectly. I meant if it was part of the EU.

And this is the European bit of Istanbul:

https://istanbul.tips/guide-about-european-side-of-istanbul-things-to-do-see-how-to-get-around/

It is where most of the key historical buildings are, and I've always had accommodation there (my uncle lived there too). If you are flying in, you'll usually arrive at the main airport, which is also on the European side. If you are foolish to use EasyJet they use an airport on the Asian side which is an awful long way out of the city and involves driving through mile after mile of new tower blocks that are a worry in an earthquake zone (earthquakes are moving westward along the North Anatolian Fault and Istanbul will likely be hit next - it'll be horrific).

Basically the part west of the link between the Mediterranean sea and the Black sea is considered is considered European and the rest is not.

Q1 vs Q1 Tesla is up in China, it was something tiny like less than 2% though where q1 2024 was already low.

They're still down pretty much everywhere else though.

Generally speaking, picking individual months is pretty meaningless.

China needs to tariff tesla heavily to protect their companies.

Consistent declines for all 3 months of 2025, yoy.

I was boycotting tesla before it was cool. Stinky stinky cars.

And the numbers in Norway shot back up with the arrival of the new model Y. Turns out people were just waiting for the new model.

Model Y is now the most sold car in Norway so far this year and the model 3 is up 300% compared to the same time frame last year (Jan->March).

Curious if something similar happened in other European countries.
