BYD took the global EV crown. Now Chinese rivals and local startups are taking over emerging markets.

  • Tesla’s sales are dropping globally, with political headwinds and fierce EV rivals throwing up challenges.
  • New frontiers beckon, but Tesla faces a showdown with savvy local and Chinese competitors vying for dominance.
  • Pricing battles and rapid innovation are putting Tesla to the test, demanding a strategic jolt to regain its edge.

Tourer?

Vws are overpriced and a bit lackluster these days, I got a KIA.

Does your car have an annoying warning about the rules of the road when you start it, that requires a button press to confirm?

The VW ID.7 is about the same cost as a Tesla Model 3 and its size and features are more like the Model S. I was early so I have the sedan, a friend has the tourer though and loves it.

No such warning, at least not here in Sweden/Europe.

I looked at the Kia EV9 but it was a lot more expensive, also, we didn't get the swivel seats here. They had to be bolted stuck in forward position :(

Honestly just in terms of performance the Tesla beats out vw. the performance model at 50k USD gets a sub 3 second 0 to 60. Biggest issue is that it's not in the states yet

Absolutely. The Model 3 was fun to drive in a carting way. The ID.7 is comfortable to drive long distances in.

Yeah, except it's no fun to drive when it's in the shop.
