That's certainly true in the US. In Europe, Volkswagen Group is currently #1 in EV sales. Tesla sells a lot of Model Ys, but not as many 3s, and almost zero Models S and X. VW doesn't have any single model that comes close to the Y in sales. However, it has more different EV models, under more brands, with a more diverse appeal and a wider price range. Thus, at the moment it beats Tesla in the aggregate. EVs in EU, first quarter 2024 VW Group 18% market share Tesla 15% Stellantis 12.5% > BYD is doing pretty good in China. I don't have the numbers at hand, but IIRC, in China, BYD has lately been outselling Tesla between 3:1 and 4:1. Home team and all, I guess, and also lower prices. > Tesla still seems to be selling all they can make. Are you sure about that? https://jalopnik.com/tesla-is-running-out-of-room-to-store-unsold-cars- 1851473377 or https://v.gd/tt5798 Maybe they expect that their recent further price cuts will lead to a quick sellout of the excess inventory. Just a guess. ----- Sidebar: A couple of weeks later, Tesla appears to be again changing their position on their charging business. https://fortune.com/2024/05/13/tesla-supercharger-workers-rehired-elon-musk- layoff-entire-team-max-dezegher/ or https://v.gd/VwZKOP I wonder how much of a raise De Zegher negotiated. :-\ David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
