The cars will be delivered over the next 14 months, with Tesla Model 3 sedans set to be available for rental in the US and Europe. In addition to providing a way for potential owners to try out the cars, the eventual resale will give a boost to the used market. Presumably a different rental company will ink a similar deal for Chevy Bolts. In the first 9 months of 2021 General Motors delivered in the US 605,575 Chevy Silverado and GMC 1500s (twin pickup trucks) 1,171,901 Other vehicles out of which 151,010 are Buicks and 95,925 are Cadillacs. Average Transaction Price in September 2021 $53,241 General Motors (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC) $55,085 Tesla Teslas Fremont factory produced over 430,000 vehicles in the last four quarters (ending 1 October 2021) and the executives believe that they can eventually ramp up to 600,000 from this factory. In addition the Austin factory begins production. Many of the exports will be manufactured in the Berlin and Shanghai factory. It is believed that the location of a 5th Tesla factory will be announced before New Year's Eve. It could be literally anywhere. I think that Tesla believes they can sell over a million vehicles annually in the US within five years. |

What strikes you immediately is how small the numbers are for 2019 out of roughly 17 million vehicles sold, and how lofty the goal are for the next 14 years. 194,709 BEVs - Battery electric vehicles including Tesla 125,538 69,171 BEVs - Battery electric vehicles other than Tesla 80,552 PHEVs - Plug in hybrid electric vehicles 2,272 FCEVs - Fuel Cell electric vehicles The PHEVs distributed by manufacturer were as follows 15,571 BMW 10,628 Toyota (zero BEVs) 9,846 Ford (zero BEVs) 7,221 Honda 5,781 Hyundai 5,712 Mercedes 5,573 Kia 5,516 GM 4,049 Volvo (zero BEVs) 3,484 FCA 2,547 Subaru (zero BEVs) 2,405 VW 2,185 Mitsubishi (zero BEVs) 34 Jaguar/LR It's interesting that some companies that produced zero BEVs in 2019 like Volvo and Mitsubushi and Ford are setting massive goals for BEVs less than two years later. Although Toyota and Subaru produced no BEVs at all, they are setting much more modest goals for BEV production for the next decade. Two out of three EVs sold that year were by Tesla. So leavingTesla sales out, there were fewer BEVs sold 69,171 than PHEVs 80,552. 21,361 GM 16,035 Nissan (zero PHEVs) 15,968 VW 5,629 Hyundai 4,267 Kia 3,004 Jaguar/LR 1,557 BMW 522 Honda 434 FCA 394 Mercedes Lastly the Fuel Cell Evs produced in 2019 1,711 Toyota 337 Honda 224 Hyundai |
