As the year progresses, and new customers are coming in, sales of these expensive BEVs are slowly but surely recovering -- again, just as expected.<br /><br />Of course cheap models are unaffected by this: including all Hyundai/Kia.<br /><br />(Though reportedly there will be another change at the end of this year, presumably with a similar effect, but this time affecting all models...)antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-1939636977134516852019-07-11T18:26:01.509+00:002019-07-11T18:26:01.509+00:00Just demonstration units, i guess volume numbers w...Just demonstration units, i guess volume numbers will only start in July, so next month i will put it in Bold.José Ponteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13927229481945352747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-35621778218803951022019-07-11T12:59:19.180+00:002019-07-11T12:59:19.180+00:00Jose, has the new extended range Leaf arrived?

Although not totally unexpected, the breaking is above 90% on both models, a move that could permanently endanger Tesla, as there are good reasons to believe customers will embrace other models and brands for next purchases (best sellers Tesla Model S-2018/2017, VW Passat GTE-2016, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV-2015). A fall from Hero to Zero, and a regrettable one, as currently a BMW 530e attracts more customers than a Tesla Model S. Coincidence or not, after the Jaguar I-Pace arrival, among others like the Hyundai Kona and Tesla Model 3, they have been unable to attract customers for their models, after all, every car model competes with each other for a customer.<br /><br />From the posted data, Q22019 standings are:<br /><br />1st Tesla with 6063 units<br />2nd Kia-Hyundai with 4737 units<br />3rd Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance with 3570 units<br />4th Volkswagen Group with 2131 units<br />5th BMW Group with 1313 unitsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
