Tesla Model Y Is 1 Top Selling Car In China, 1 Top Selling EV In Europe — Why?

Without a doubt, the Tesla Model Y is in high demand. It's similar to the Model 3 in a lot of ways, but a bit bigger, falling into that much loved 'crossover' category that adds

Why China is outselling the US in EVs 5 to 1

And all of those equal up to how many EV cars in China? About 0.0001%

And how does this compensate for giving China a pass on polution--coal, etc. While shutting the US down.

Wuling HongGuang?

Tonight?

That must be tough to fit on the hood. :)

Sedans just aren’t that practical. It also almost a necessity if you have a dog. I will probably buy a Y to replace one of our aging vehicles at some point, partially because I’m a gadget guy, partially to support Musk.

^suv/crossovers are almost a necessity with dogs

[McGruff]

Not much need for a vehicle here.

Chinese COVID camp.

WRONG!
Vastly more EVs in China than in the US. Not even close. Read the link in post # 2.

Kinda similar to Gretchen Whitmar’s covid lockowns in Michigan.

Yikes

[logi_cal869]

2.5% vs 2% is ‘vastly more’?

C’mon, man.

[logi_cal869]

Pardon: Touchscreen fatfinger. Correction:

2.5% vs 1% is ‘vastly more’?

C’mon, man.

China is the world’s biggest car market.

[SmokingJoe]

Vastly more is FIVE TIMES more EVs are sold in China than in the US.

Why China is outselling the US in EVs 5 to 1

LOL, here's why:

Last year’s frenzied growth may not be repeated in 2022. The subsidies for purchasing electric vehicles have been cut by another 30% this year, and by the end of the year, Beijing will sunset government-paid EV subsidies. Xing told Protocol one of the reasons the Chinese EV market exploded in 2021 was that everyone knew heavy subsidies would be phased out in 2022. The 30% slash in subsidies can translate to a cross-industry EV price hike. The ongoing global chip shortage and price increases for lithium batteries will make it even harder for carmakers to bring costs down.

[SmokingJoe]

Subsidies or no subsidies, EVs will sell vastly more in China than in the US.
They have nearly four times the US population and they make vastly more EV’s some very low priced.

[logi_cal869]

That was not the context of Reno89519’s comment.

Cheerleading a bit? Bias much?

Without rebates, EVs would amount to crap here, especially when electricity prices begin reflecting the reality of 2 more years of an administration committed to making those rates more than DOUBLE with their current policies.

[SmokingJoe]

Without rebates, EVs would amount to crap here, especially

Tesla stopped getting federal EV subsidies close to 3 years ago, yet Tesla sold close to 70% of EVs in America in 2021.
Try again.

Imagine if they all.caught fire at the same time?

Population Control could send a drone to take out anyone

they deem an enemy of the state.
