It was never super-mainstream, but it was the top EV group in terms of sales for a few quarters (mostly in 2019). It'll likely soon no longer be in the top ten; looks like for Q1 it's on track to be smaller than Stellantis (the company which owns all the brands that you're surprised still exist) and Geely, who themselves are marginally relevant in Europe.
Tesla was never super-mainstream, regular-mainstream or mainstream. It was top EV when there were no other EVs. Stellantis has 16% market share in Europe.
