How Tesla is doing up against German-made vehicles:
Model 3 topped the European electric car sales charts in September and beat out of sight the challenge from Germany over the first nine months, and this provoked a wary reaction from Volkswagen, conceding that Elon Musk’s company was much more efficient, while BMW cast aspersions about Tesla quality and heritage.
Tesla sold 24,574 Model 3s in September to take the number 1 spot, way ahead of 8,199 VW ID.3s and 4,310 ID.4s, according to data fromFor the first 9 months, the Model 3 led with just under 100,000 sales compared with the 2placed VW ID3 at close to 52,000 and 44,600 little Renault Zoes. There were no BMW electric cars in either top 10 list. BMW will up its battery electric vehicle threat in 2022 when its recently launched i4 sedan and iX SUV hit the market.
Tesla’s threat will jump a few notches too when its German factory begins making Model Y SUVs for the German and European market.CEO Herbert Diess, currently under pressure from the company’s union which objects to his plans to make VW more profitable, told an employee meeting last week that Tesla at its Brandenburg, Germany, factory will make 90 cars an hour for 10 hours a day. This compares with VW’s Zwickau plant which makes the ID.3 and ID.
The union had been angered by reports Diess had said VW had 30,000 excess workers in Germany. Its German workforce totals 290,000.
