Tesla beat the Golf by ~10k cars in global new car sales 2020.
Although Golf sales have admittedly almost halved over the past 5 years and is currently outsold by both the Polo and Tiguan
- toyg 5y agoYeah, _global_ - Teslas are mostly sold in the US. In Europe they are still way too expensive. In Germany the total amount of Tesla models sold in the first 6 months of 2021, according to the link posted in a sibling comment, is less than a quarter of just the Golf. When you combine all models, VW in Germany sells 20 times the cars that Tesla does. I understand the hype States-side, but in Europe the situation is different. People keep saying it will change once Tesla has an EU factory, but we'll have to see - opening a factory is no walk in the park, and by the time that happens VW might have a better electric line.
