Tesla taking over the world
Mar 23^rd, 2019 at 6:40am

Tesla is now the top seller IN North America and Europe and Australia, not sure about Africa and South America , hard to find data.... Tesla is building a factory in China (the biggest seller of EV's) and is supposed to be finished by the end of the year... Next year is might have the best selling cars in every Continent…... Wink

Not bad for a company that is supposedly going broke in a few Months.....(time for a Tesla in a crash post I think) Wink

Being 'top seller' in a category where until recently, you were the only one is a bit of a Special Olympics Award.

See how it fares against the iPace and the audi and merc EVs.

and the Jaguar 800hp XJ-EV will destroy it in performance, styling luxury and build quality. and instead of an ipad to control everything, it will have actual buttons and a dash - like real cars.

Actually living in SA, the problem is that batteries are load managers, not generators. If the generators fail, it can proved 3mins of power.

The only Data you have is what you pluck from your ass after smoking the same stuff as Elon.

The tesla isn't in the top 25 in the USA for sales.

I wonder what vehicles were in the top 3 for sales.

the Ipace has actually been really disappointing in sales and only in the last month have they picked up and Tesla last year sold almost as many cars as Porch and have left Jag for dead, this year they will far surpassse the 2 companies

the rest are one day in the future they might get built...... Wink

Ahh I should of put best selling Electric Vehicles in Australia , Europe and North America, sorry for the miss understanding Baron Wink

The Model 3 really only had 6 months last year of good production and for those 6 months was the 4th best selling Car in the USA (not a ute) and was the highest grossing car, it also had 2/3 of sales of all small to midrange Luxury vehicles (the class it is in). It was the highest selling Luxury vehicle last year beating a Lexus if I remember right. So in the Luxury market in the USA they are definitely doing well.
It will be interesting to see how it sells this year,
They have unveiled their new suv crossover , it is expected to outsell the 3 models they already have. Wink

considering that you predicted that nobody would ever buy it, it has done exceedingly well. And of course Australia was too busy going broke making old clunkers to see the future with this technology. Just another one of your many failed predictions longprong !

https://insideevs.com/tesla-delivered-over-4000-model-3-norway/
As of today, the counter of new registrations of Model 3 in Norway exceeded 4,100 and there are still a few days to go, making it possible to maybe reach 4,500. Including 792 Model 3 registered in February, the total number approaches 5,000 now in Norway.
Finally, March will be the new all-time record of all-electric and plug-in car sales in Norway. We expect now some 8,500-9,000 new passenger car registrations, which could be 60-70% of total car sales in the country.

Norway has about the same population of New Zealand (5 mil) and has the highest uptake of electric vehicles for any country. As other countries improve their EV uptake it will be interesting to see what cars they buy... Wink

Tesla Model 3 shines in the Netherlands
According to official stats, in March, the Tesla Model 3 was the best-selling car of any kind in the Netherlands with 2,195 new registrations (5.6% of all sales).
We failed to spot a single model that would be above 1,000 registrations, and we believe that the second-best plug-in model is below 500 (full sales report from the Netherlands is expected later this month).

In Switzerland, Tesla Model 3 has become the best-selling car of any type in March with 1,094 new registrations, followed by the conventional Skoda Octavia (801) and a few other models checking in around 500.
Despite the fact that deliveries started only in February, Model 3 quickly jumped also in the YTD rank to 4th place at 1,371. As a brand, Tesla was in March classified at 8th overall
Strong sales of the Model 3 is a very important outcome as Switzerland is one of the most “neutral indicators” of demand in a country with high salaries and no EV incentives.

https://cleantechnica.com/2019/04/06/tesla-model-3-1-luxury-car-in-usa/

In the first quarter of 2019, the Tesla Model 3 was again the #1 top selling car in the US luxury car market. It was far and away the winner. It was actually #13 in the overall US car market, and no other premium-class car even made the top 20.
The Tesla Model 3 accounted for 16% of sales in the small + midsize luxury car markets. That’s 16% of both markets combined.

Hey Longweakend its been a few months are Tesla going broke yet ? Cheesy
