Tesla Model 3 = #1 Electric Car In Europe — #CleanTechnica Electric Car Sales Report

5 years ago José Pontes 0 Comments

The big news in February’s top positions was of course the Tesla Model 3 landing with a bang, and jumping right up to the leadership position, but unlike what has happened (and is happening) in the USA, the blackhole effect of the Tesla Model 3 is not absorbing sales from other BEVs (well, maybe the Model S is the exception). Instead, it appears the Model 3 is pulling customers directly from competing PHEVs and gas/diesel models.

Which Electric Vehicles Could Score 500,000+ Sales A Year?

5 years ago Zachary Shahan 0 Comments

The Tesla Model 3 had more than 100,000 sales in 2018 and could have more than 300,000 sales in 2019. In 2020, it could certainly pass that 500,000 unit marker (or not — we’ll see). The Tesla Model Y will likely be more popular than the Model 3, perhaps much more popular, and it’s hard to imagine the vehicle won’t pass 500,000 sales per year. Other than these two Tesla mass-market models, though, which electric vehicles could reach such high annual sales?

Tesla Model 3 vs. US Incumbents — Gun In A Knife Fight Or Fair Fight?

I recently ran a Twitter poll to decide what to write about next. The top article the voters asked me to write was an article on how the Tesla Model Standard Range (SR) competes against models from incumbent auto manufacturers. The wonderful thing is that Tesla is now price competitive, without incentives. It is very competitive on a total cost of ownership basis. With incentives and TCO factored in, the Model 3 is tough to beat.

Let’s take a look.

Tesla Model 3 Costs vs. 10 Best Selling Cars In The USA

We don’t really know how many Tesla Model 3s were sold in the USA in January and February, but the car should be in the top 20. With less than one day remaining to order the Model 3 Standard Range Plus for $37,000, I felt we still hadn’t done enough to compare the current Model 3 options with the top selling cars in the USA. So, here’s a new rundown comparison focused on one key category: 5 year total cost of ownership.

Tesla Model 3 vs. Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, & Nissan Altima

There are a lot of ways to compare cars. In most cases, once you whittle down to a specific body style and price range (vehicle class), there’s little difference between the options. Toyota Camry vs. Honda Accord vs. Nissan Altima — what’s really the difference? BMW 3 Series vs. Audi A4 vs. Mercedes-Benz C-Class — again, the differences largely boil down to style or slight variations in features.

The Tesla Model 3 versus any of these cars is an entirely different game.

Tesla Model 3 Lands With A Bang In France — CleanTechnica EV Sales Report

5 years ago José Pontes 0 Comments

The French plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) passenger car market had 4,178 registrations in February, up 32% year over year (YoY), with all-electric models growing faster than plug-in hybrids (+46% vs +16%). A big portion of this growth came from the landing of the Tesla Model 3, which had 401 deliveries last month, but even discounting the “Model 3 effect,” full-electrics grew 26%, a positive sign that the Model 3 isn’t stealing sales from other electric cars but from its gas/diesel competitors.
