Also w.r.t. Fusion, it's important to not that previously in the Ford lineup it was bookended by Focus and Taurus both of which ceased production. Ford car sales overall plummeted and the only reason the Fusion stayed up is movement from some people that were going to buy a Focus or Taurus sliding up or down a notch. Especially since Fusion goes all the way from nasty cheap rental car version up through Titanium/premium sedan.

I guess that has to be attributed to the fact that the Bolt -- being a compliance car -- is reportedly getting *heavy* discounts in ZEV markets (on the order of $10,000); while Nissan is way more stingy with discounts, actually trying to sell at a profit...antriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-78396413466480969442019-10-14T12:25:17.717+00:002019-10-14T12:25:17.717+00:00https://insideevs.com/news/373812/ev-sales-scoreca...https://insideevs.com/news/373812/ev-sales-scorecard-september-2019/<br /><br />19,100 model 3 or 2k differencemhendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897747484474214504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-59745557004074020312019-10-14T12:18:59.647+00:002019-10-14T12:18:59.647+00:00https://insideevs.com/news/373812/ev-sales-scoreca...https://insideevs.com/news/373812/ev-sales-scorecard-september-2019/<br /><br />19.100 model 3, 2k difference.mhendrikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897747484474214504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-78406958219221284942019-10-14T06:09:24.463+00:002019-10-14T06:09:24.463+00:00A crucial factor for the USA market is the phasing...A crucial factor for the USA market is the phasing out of tax credits for Tesla (and GM). In other countries after a fall of 5,000 dollars in subsidies (like Tesla has faced), EV sales have fallen by a lot more.
