Toyota sells about six times as many cars each year as Tesla, so I don’t see how that’s better for Tesla.
Also, I don’t understand how 261,000 vehicles can be 43 days of supply for Toyota given that they sell about 11 million cars each year (https://www.automotivedive.com/news/toyota-annual-sales-2023-lexus-daihatsu-hino/706061/ https://www.automotivedive.com/news/toyota-annual-sales-2023...)
Also, 11,200,000 / 261,000 is conspicuously close to 43. ¿Sounds low to me, but maybe they miscalculated, and they have 1/43th of a year or just over a week of inventory?
- floxy 3y agoI'm pretty sure that CarEdge data was for the U.S. only. Looks like Toyota sold 2,248,477 vehicles in the U.S. in 2023: https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-motor-north-america-reports-2023-u-s-sales-results/ https://pressroom.toyota.com/toyota-motor-north-america-repo... ...so that jives with the 43 days of U.S. supply backlog.
