Reply to comment by 8to24 in Global Electric Vehicle Sales Up 62% (Overall Auto Sales Down 8%) by ElectrikDonuts

I hope we can agree # of brands is a meaningless #. It's about what can you deliver/produce?

If you can produce a few thousand (or even 10K) of a brand, is that really production? Or just compliance cars so you don't have to pay credits to Tesla and other EV companies?

A reminder, Rivian has produced 14K YTD. GM has produced just over 15K YTD. That's the real measuring tape - yeah?

And?

Please go deeper into what made up those 6.9 million. I'll spoil it for you. Most likely 4-5 million plus were golf cart sized cars in China. Only about 2 to 2.5 million were real vehicles(being generous). And again a lot if not most of those were produced in China. Only 1+ million were produced outside of China.

But what's your point?

Tela alone sells a million cars per year.

My point is that production has been dramatically scaled up.

Most of Tesla cars are built in China...

Other than the ones I highlighted elsewhere in this thread, the rest are in real trouble.
