Where I live (admittedly not representative of the entire country) I see a ton of non-tesla EVs, but they are all compact SUVs like the mach-e, vw id4, hyundai etc. Not many trucks other than that Rivian
It's true, but it's kinda like Android vs Apple a while ago. Tesla is selling the vast majority of vehicles with the vast majority of profit and charging stations (kinda like 3rd party accessories for an iPhone), and everything else is fragmented and not very profitable.
Slow car sales in general is a thing, I think I read there's like 3 million brand new cars sitting in inventory, when the normal is less than a million
I've been wondering how people are affording cars as the average sale price has increased so dramatically. Perhaps the answer is that they are not. I'm sure holding onto my cheap beater of a car for as long as I can since no manufacturer seems to want to make that sort of vehicle any more.
I might afford one. The motivation is saving 250€ on petrol every month. And maybe saving on repairs I do now by myself on my driveway. But still €45k for used model Y performance or a new short range one is a lot. I keep my old failing car as long as I can.
