WHY DOES TESLA HAVE 25% MARKET SHARE IN BEVs ?

Clearly the answer is that they have the most popular vehicles with the widest global distribution of any BEV manufacturer

But there is more to it than that . . .

WHY ARE TESLA VEHICLES SO POPULAR ?

There are many answers to this

But one Big One dominates the rest, and you see it and hear about it all the time

- and several others provide strong support

Let's go to Europe where there is a greater of competitors relative to the USA

The Tesla Model 3 is very popular in Europe, and as we have shown, the entry level Model 3 SR+ has already beaten comparable ICEVs on Price, Performance, and overall Cost of Ownership

When we turn our attention to the BEV space, we hear a lot about the vehicles shown here :

The problem is that these vehicles only carry half of the Power of the 200 kW motor in the Tesla Model 3 SR +

- and the Tesla Model 3 SR+ outperforms them by a substantial margin for only a slightly higher price

This cohort of vehicles is also not designed for high-speed driving, with none of them being rated for higher than 165 km per hour

- the entry-level Tesla Model 3 SR+ is rated for 225 km per hour

Even though their motors are lower power, most of them cannot match the efficiency of the Tesla Model 3 SR+ at 14.0 KWh per 100 km

Their battery sizes are lower than the Tesla Model 3 SR+

And their WLTP Ranges are in all cases lower than the Tesla Model 3 SR+

With its combination of higher Power, greater Acceleration, higher Speed, lower Consumption and longer Range, we must conclude that these vehicles are not really direct competitors to the Tesla Model 3 SR+

And yet they are challenged by the closeness of its Price point
