Bully for Tesla if the 3 or Y is #1 or #2 or whatever in European EV sales.
Do you know what was the fastest selling vehicle in Europe in Janiuary? The
Dacia Sandero, a plain vanilla supermini (B-segment) hatch.
Well....
You might consider what is more valuable to society, Tesla or Renault.
Can Renault earn enough selling Dacias to fund multiple large factories
to enable building them in great numbers? Is there sufficient market
right now to support selling millions of Dacias? If you think the
answers are "yes", why is that not happening right now?
TSLA will likely become enormously valuable to society as well as E Musk
and TSLA stock holders. That accomplished by relentless pursuit of
cost reductions and vertical integreation, resulting in high margins,
resulting in enormous amounts of income, resulting in funding of "giga
factories".
BTW, where is MY Dacia Sandero? And yours? Apparently, Renault is not
satisfied with USA market potential. Either that or Renault thinks it
can make more money by denying cheap small EVs to the USA market.
Perhaps Renault has insufficient cash to scale up Sandero production?
Perhaps Sandero margins are not attractively high?
Might you admit that Renault is the bigger offender in this situation?
Fairly or unfairly, in my mind Renault is tainted by their early
participation in the Leaf fiasco.
