Tesla Model 3 outsold BMW 2, 3, 4 and 5 series combined. What BMW that is similarly priced to a Model 3 am I missing? The only BMWs that are still selling well are the SUVs.
I think your narrative is 3 years out of date. BMW is dying at the hands of Tesla in the US right now, along with all the other “premium” carmakers.
When the Model Y starts shipping, I imagine X3 and X5 sales will likewise be hit quite hard.
- jjeaff 7y agoBMW sells about as many units each month as Tesla sells all year right now. And they have been hitting all time unit sales records as of this year. https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/04/11/march-2019-best-ever-worldwide-sales-in-bmw-history/ https://www.bmwblog.com/2019/04/11/march-2019-best-ever-worl...
- zaroth 7y agoThat is worldwide. I am talking about the US. In the US, BMW’s YoY in 2018 for 3 Series was -25%! [1] Because you know, it makes just a bit more sense to compare them just within the US, where Tesla has had a chance to establish itself somewhat, compared to the 103-year old BMW. The fact that Tesla sells almost 1/10 as many cars as BMW sells worldwide is actually pretty amazing, considering Tesla is selling purely EVs, all made in a single factory in the US. When Tesla builds Giga4 in Europe in a couple years, then you’ll see the same effect there too. There’s a reason BMW just fired their CEO.
