Looking at both the EV sales number by auto manufacturers and by auto brands, you can see that EV sales is no different than all automotive sales, the cheaper the cars, the more sales number they would have. Cars (EV included) under VW and Hyundai brands are mostly affordable low-end to mid range vehicles, so it makes sense that they are sold more than luxury brands like Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Tesla. Yes, Tesla is still a luxury brand with majority of the models selling at close to $40k USD or above (the $35k USD Model 3 standard range version was removed from their website, even though you can still technically order them by talking to a sales rep.) Until Tesla can make their cars at below $30k range, they are not going to be competing head to head with VW and Hyundai, or in other words, they won't enjoy the sales number that VW or Hyundai has. There just aren't many who can afford Tesla. This is basic economics. PS: Nissan Leaf sales numbers low is probably outlier due to the charging port (Nissan uses ChadeMo instead of CCS for fast charging, but they reverse course at 2021 model year since ChadeMo is dead outside of Japan) and the charging infrastructure issues. PPS: Tesla manufacturing quality is also another issue - comparing to mature automotive manufacturers like VW and Hyundai. VW has 80 years of history of making cars, Hyundai has 50. Tesla is FAR behind in terms of the operational and manufacturing quality control than traditional automotive competitors, especially the German ones and Toyota (too bad, Toyota is betting big on hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid technologies, not on EV).
