Bit early to celebrate isn’t it?
“BMW sold more EVs in Europe than Tesla last month, the first month any company beat Tesla.”
You: “But what about the months before that?!”
I mean… yes? I’m not saying it’s not news, but people are acting like this means BMW is now firmly leading EV sales when car sales are famously volatile month to month for a variety of reasons and it’s not like things have been neck and neck. Tesla is still clearly leading, at least for now.
As I said it’s definitely news worthy, but it seems like people are overreacting.
Another commenter pointed out these numbers also seem to include hybrids as well, so even less significant. Let’s see how things go for the rest of the year.
