That's myopically complacent; 20 years ago some car makers probably said the same thing: bah, Musk doesn't know how to make cars. Now something like every other new car on North American roads is a Tesla.
That battery marker is probably toast.
- Glant 2y ago> Now something like every other new car on North American roads is a Tesla. Source? I could see that being true for EVs, but I can't see it being true for all cars in general.
- snypher 2y agoFord sold almost as many trucks as Tesla did units total for 2023, so there's no source, unless things changed very recently.
- LeafItAlone 2y ago>Now something like every other new car on North American roads is a Tesla. That’s not even close to being true. Toyota, alone, sold more vehicles in the US than Tesla did globally. https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-deliveries-and-date-financial-results-webcast-fourth-quarter-2023 https://ir.tesla.com/press-release/tesla-vehicle-production-... https://pressroom.toyota.com/?generate_pdf=91364 https://pressroom.toyota.com/?generate_pdf=91364 Perhaps you meant electric vehicles? Which your statement about count sold more accurate, but overall sentiment, still off.
- m463 2y agocalifornia sales are pretty high: https://electrek.co/2024/01/30/one-out-of-every-8-cars-sold-in-california-in-2023-was-a-tesla-21-4-ev-share/ https://electrek.co/2024/01/30/one-out-of-every-8-cars-sold-... (toyota 15% tesla 13%) But toyotas numbers transfer to rest of the US. I think what people read is that model 3 and model y are the best selling cars in california: https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-30-at-12.39.18AM.jpg https://electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/01/Scree... but if you look closer tesla only sells one car in the segment, while toyota "competes with itself" with camry+corolla > model 3, and same with honda's accord+civic > model 3
- LeafItAlone 2y agoSure, they sell well, but those stats are still a far cry from parent’s assertion.
