Some idiot said "charging station's empty, don't exist", Tesla humiliates Toyota

 :

Tesla Humiliates Toyota The producer of electric vehicles has just snatched a crown from the Japanese automaker that has belonged to it for several years.

At the end of April 2021, Elon Musk made a prediction that startled investors and financial analysts.

"We think Model Y will be the best selling car or vehicle of any kind in the world,” Tesla's Chief Executive Officer said, on April 26, 2021 during the company's first quarter earnings' call, referring to the popular SUV that had launched two years earlier and had became popular quite quickly. "Probably next year. I’m not 100 percent certain next year, but I think it’s quite likely.. more likely than not, that 2022 Model Y is best selling car or truck... in the world.”

The prediction stunned investors. Some saw it as yet another promise from the Techno King which would probably not be kept. Others said that Musk had to set an ambitious goal because of the very good quarterly results announced that day. The company, which at the time was still based in Fremont, Calif., had recorded sales totaling $10.4 billion, almost double compared to the first quarter of 2020, marked by the temporary closure of its factory in Shanghai due to the first cases of the coronavirus. Tesla also posted a net profit of $438 million that quarter, which was the seventh consecutive quarter of profits.

Model Y Becomes the World's Best-Selling Car
But for Musk, the prediction was real. Tesla  (TSLA) - Get Free Report was building two factories, one near Berlin and another in Austin, Texas. These two factories would produce the Model Y, which was likely to boost sales of this SUV.


The year 2022 has passed and the prediction has not come true. The Model Y became only the third best-selling car in the world, finishing behind two Toyota models -- the Toyota RAV4 and the Toyota Corolla -- according to data from 152 markets collected by Jato Dynamics. About 747,500 units of the Model Y, a 91 percent increase from 2021, were sold last year. This did not prevent Musk from reiterating his prediction to shareholders last August. This time, the billionaire saw the Model Y dethrone the Toyota models in 2023.

Take Your First Look at Tesla's Model Y
The main problem with this prediction is the price. The base price for the Model Year 2023 Model Y is $47,490, compared to $21,550 for the Model Year 2023 Toyota Corolla and $27,575 for the Model Year 2023 RAV4, which limits the impact of geopolitical tensions on sales. The Model Y is not present in emerging markets and developing countries and its sales are exposed to the relations between the United States and China, which are its two main markets.

But Tesla seems to have overcome all these obstacles since, according to data from Jato Dynamics published by Motor1, the Model Y became the best-selling car in the world in the first quarter of 2023. Around 267,200 units of the Model Y were sold worldwide in the first three months of the year, compared to 256,400 Corolla units and 214,700 RAV4 units. Model Y sales are up nearly 69% compared to the first quarter of 2022. This is a huge setback for the Toyota Corolla, whose falling sales in China and the United States cost it a crown it had held for several years.


Get a better job: Toyota Corolla
Tesla Celebrates
The list of the Top 5 is completed by two other Toyota models: the Camry sedan and the Hilux pickup truck sold in emerging and developing countries. Several factors worked in favor of the Model Y against the Corolla. Tesla has significantly lowered prices this year in all its markets, which has boosted sales in China and the United States. American consumers buying the vehicle can benefit, since January, from a federal tax credit of $7,500, adopted within the framework of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Tesla, which does not give detailed sales figures model by model, was delighted with the enormous achievement of the Model Y.

"Thank you to Tesla owners for making Model Y the world’s bestselling car in Q1 this year!" the carmaker posted on its Twitter account on May 26.

The message was retweeted by Musk.

If EV "don't exist", how is it that it's "Stealing the Show"  :

[quote[Toyota's Soaring April Sales: Hybrids and EVs Stealing the Show


Toyota Motor Corp's (NYSE: TM) April 2023 global sales and production were up year-on-year due to a rebound from the pandemic-induced semiconductor crisis.

The global sales rose by close to 5% in April Y/Y, thanks to robust demand for hybrids and gasoline-powered cars in Japan and China.

The automaker also reported better overseas sales of battery electric vehicles (EVs).

Toyota in April sold 800,863 vehicles globally, including its luxury Lexus brand, up by 4.9% Y/Y, Reuters reports.

Sales of hybrids like the new Prius in Japan posted a substantial 59.2% Y/Y jump to make up just over 50% of the 125,326 vehicles sold in the company's home market in April, outpacing the 21.5% rise in its overall domestic car sales.

In China, Toyota sales jumped 46.3% Y/Y to 162,554 units in April.

In April, the automaker sold 8,584 battery EVs worldwide, including its Lexus brand, accounting for over 1% of its global sales in a month for the first time.

Price Action: TM shares traded lower by 0.64% at $139.18 premarket on the last check Tuesday.

Why would these two big car companies blindside the industry if EV "doesn't exist"?  :

Ford, Tesla ‘blindside’ industry with charging deal. Here's what it means for automakers and customers

Leave it to Ford and its new bedfellow Tesla to shock the automotive world.

On the eve of Memorial Day weekend, Ford CEO Jim Farley announced he would be joining Tesla CEO Elon Musk for a Twitter Spaces discussion, where the two would talk about "accelerating EV adoption," and make an announcement.

Stay ahead of the market
That announcement turned out to be a big one: Starting next year, Ford EVs will have access to 12,000 Tesla Superchargers in North America, via a Tesla-supplied adapter. Then starting in 2025, all new Ford EVs will ship with Tesla’s NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging connector, as opposed to the CCS standard which most other EV automakers have been using.

"Working with Elon and his team, I’m really excited for our industry and for the Ford customers," Ford CEO Jim Farley said during the Twitter Spaces event. "We think this is a huge move for our industry and all electric customers."

Likewise Musk, who has been known to denigrate traditional automakers though has in the past shown an affinity for Ford, said, "I have a tremendous amount of respect for Ford as a company, and they make great vehicles," adding "it’s an honor to be working with a great company like Ford."

Farley cited the Tesla’s supercharger network’s ease of use and reliability as key differentiator s for using the service. Ford did reiterate that its own BlueOval Charge Network of 10,000+ fast chargers would still be available, giving Ford owners more choice, and a big leg up on the competition with Tesla’s network on tap.

Reaction across the automotive world was mixed, but one thing was for certain: it was a shock.

"Ford blindsided the entire industry with this brilliant move and solidified its position as a leader in the transition to electric vehicles," said Tom Moloughney, EV charging expert and senior editor at InsideEVs to Yahoo Finance. "The Ford/Tesla deal will cause some initial disruption in the industry, but it will prove to be good for the consumer in the long run."

If EV doesn't exist, why would Ford nickel and diming their customers like Tesla is doing to theirs for  :

Ford's electric Mustang Mach-E no longer comes with a power cord

There were more changes in the small print of Ford's announced updates to the 2023.5 Mustang Mach-E. The headline changes were the new battery chemistry with improved range and charging, more powerful AWD trims, and lower prices. Those lower MSRPs were countered by revised pricing for some features like BlueCruise, which increased threefold for subscribers renewing the hands-free driving tech. In following Tesla's move to cut prices, Ford also followed Tesla's move to charge for what was once standard equipment. The Ford Mobile Charger (FMC) used to be included with the Mach-E, it is now $500. The parallel is that Tesla's Mobile Connector was once standard equipment for the Model Y, but now costs $230.

If EV doesn't exist, why would Musk even make an offer to a big dog like Toyota  :

Elon Musk Makes an Offer to Toyota

The billionaire has just taken the lead and invited Toyota to join Tesla's new coalition. The invitation came on Twitter, after a user mentioned a news article showing that taking a trip in the new all electric SUV from Toyota was a battery-charging nightmare.

[theking]

And why would Hyundai even think about this if EV "doesn't exist"  :

Hyundai to consider joining Tesla's North American charging standard alliance

SEOUL, June 20 (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor (005380.KS) will consider making its vehicles more readily compatible with the charging standard Tesla (TSLA.O) is pushing for in North America, the South Korean automaker's CEO said on Tuesday.

Tesla's Superchargers make up about 60% of available U.S. fast chargers and Ford (F.N) and General Motors (GM.N) have in recent weeks struck deals with Tesla to use its charging technology, now dubbed the North American Charging Standard (NACS).

How could this be possible if EV "don't exist"??  :

There are double the amount of EVs compared to gas cars at dealerships — solving 2 of the biggest problems with car shopping right now

Auto dealers are sitting on way more electric cars than they are gas-powered ones right now.

Cox Automotive said new EV inventory is having a "field of dreams" moment.

Having more inventory means more test drive opportunities and better deals.
