VW ID.4 reservations exceed 40k+

You picked 1 month, October. You know Tesla builds and delivers cars in batches, depending on geographic destination.
Picking one month is like picking 1 month in the stock market.
Wait for Giga Berlin and you will see more linear production.

Previous poster cited Nov numbers, I just supplied the link and included October as a throw in. Although it might appear so, i wasn't cherry picking the numbers, just showing the most recent month's. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think I have the answer... The car company I like wins! Al the other ones are POS losers!
VW is largest automaker in the world neck and neck with Toyota. Just never could figure out the US market.
The EV market is a new beginning for the US consumer and VW has a viable entry.
If you add up VW models including Skoda they exceed Tesla one hit pony sales by decent margin. Not saying Tesla is bad just that when you sell a few items you tend to sell more of them.

Yup, no matter the topic. Sides are entrenched.
What this does show is that Volkswagens MEB platform (ID3+ID4+Skoda Enyaq+Audi Q4) sold roughly 19,000 units sold In one month.

...and Hyundai+KIA sold 11,746 which includes two brand new entries, IONIQ-5 and EV6.
Where'd you get the market % data in your first post?
From a little further down in that article which is missing data on the X,Y, and S
Which vehicle on the chart is the model 3's segment?

In my opinion none of these vehicles is in the Model3’s segment. I rode in a Model 3 once. I felt it had an interior more suited for public transportation. Certainly nowhere near what a Volkswagen ID4 has, let alone an Audi Q4 which is only 10% more expensive than the Id4. The Tesla didn’t even have a rear seat grab handle. Tesla may have a range advantage, but in Europe that advantage probably dwindles to nearly nothing. Germany is what 500 miles from North to south, with probably 2000 places to charge between the two borders?
I'll rephrase - where does the European auto industry segment it ?
Have no clue.
The message here is Tesla is clearly first out of the gate but the competition is just starting to get revved up.
I've seen the SK battery plant.
Stop being acting the Shortbus Sam
Why not just answer this question in a straightforward manner vs resorting to trying to insult me?
I think its because so many said for so many years the answer (at least for now) was " impossible".
The answer also brackets the two competitor in the same segment - EV's which is clearly a segment.
IF you add up every electric sold in europe VW probably has the lead but it does not have the number one selling electric car - its not even close.
So we go back and forth discussing to HQ sales vs segment sales. Like we always have.
Another question is how much money each manufacturer makes on the cars.
If BEV are subsidized by ICE sales they'd better get that squared away immediately, because were going to see it on the balance/ P&L sheet soon.

You know EXACTLY what you're doing. Stop BS'ing.
And you know why you aren't answering the question. You dont like the answer.
