>to find actual low-cost models (which $50K is not)
Model 3 starts at $37K, and Model Y at $40K.
They are #1 and #2 best-selling EVs of all time! So clearly they are affordable.
>BYD sells more cars than Tesla.
Sure, but only by 20%, and only because it also sells low-cost EVs that have less range than anything Tesla sells.
If you exclude BYD EVs with lower range than any Tesla, Tesla outsells BYD by 50%.
Even if you don't, second place (which Tesla still holds) is really not "completely ceded"!
- kibwen 2mo ago> They are #1 and #2 best-selling EVs of all time! Unlike other car manufacturers, Tesla only has the two models into which all cumulative sales numbers accrue. This is a sleight-of-hand for the emotional support of Tesla stockholders. > Sure, but only by 20%, and only because it also sells low-cost EVs that have less range than anything Tesla sells. To put it another way, Tesla wastes its time designing cars with more range than people need, which then cost too much because they have too much range.
