What are you smoking???

From the article:

Sales of electric cars continue to surge (up 273 per cent, with 515 examples reported as sold, not including Tesla as it does not supply figures).

Add your estimated 1,200 Tesla sales per month = 1,715 sales of EVs.

Hybrid market from the article

regular hybrids remain the dominant force in electrified vehicle sales (with 5152 reported). plug-in hybrid vehicles continue to climb (146 per cent, with 325 examples reported as sold).

This makes the total hybrid market =5,477

The 6,526 Chinese made vehicles:

MG = 3,313 (versus 1,115 last year) - much more than Tesla
GWM = 2,011 (versus 505 last year) - more then Tesla
LDV = 1,202 (versus 722 last year) - probably more than Tesla

None of those Chinese brands individually are making much of a splash….

Nearly ALL of them are outselling Tesla estimated sales number. And this has come on a huge increase in the last 12 months.

What this data shows is despite all the media spin, people are choosing cheap cars rather than environmentally conscious cars.
