    What? How is possible that Ford is only 4x the global volume of Tesla? In my European country I see Ford everywhere while Teslas are a rare bird.

    Maybe the Chinese sales are influencing those numbers? (Ford doesn’t sell as Ford in China but as a joint venture)

      How many of those fords have been sold in only the past 2-3 years?

      Hell, a lot of the “latest” models of ford (in terms of appearance) are as old as Tesla sales

        I was biased by the big amount of the cheaper models that they used to sell until 2023. In the new car marketshare they crashed from 8% to 3% now that the cheapest option they’re offering is 30k instead of 15k

      Apparently the numbers are real, even if in the Tesla numbers there are 600k for China.

      Also, I didn’t notice that Ford nowadays only focuses on the premium market and sells way less units than 20 years ago, the Fords I’m seeing around are the cheaper fiesta and ka that are now discontinued
