What matters is global market. The other manufactures push every possible vehicle into the markets that require it by regulation and drop prices in order to sell there.

They are one of the leading producers in all of those markets as well. What you need to monitor is BEV not 'plugin'. And some of those other cars are tiny 4k$ cars that don't really compete with a Tesla anyway.

Tesla is literally selling 2x more BEV then the second best company VW Group (including all brands). And in terms of revenue from BEV and profit from BEV they are way beyond that.


Ah good point, I was just thinking about the US, you’re right. They are still growing in EU and Asia though, and a lot of the popular EVs in China are serving a completely different price segment that Tesla isn’t even trying to compete in yet.
