What is this The future of cars? First of all, after significant government support and poaching of the best Western talents, the Chinese car industry is going to dominate around the world thanks to charging rates, ranges, luxury design, technology and volumes. What’s more, it is no longer satisfied with the service of its own huge market, because Chinese brands make grave information in Australia and Europe.
In May, it was reported that for the first time the Chinese manufacturer of BYD sold more cars in Europe than Tesla last month. Meanwhile, they will become extinct in the United States. Thanks to the tariffs of President Donald Trump, there may be time to say goodbye to the car below $ 30,000.
Wired senior editor and auto obsessive Jeremy White was the host Reddit, but At the beginning of this month, directly answer questions about the future of cars and electric vehicles as a radical change in the global market. Here’s what you need to know.
Questions and answers have been edited for clarity.
Apart from the terrifying Musk’s journey to politics, do you think that Tesla has a future, with pressure of BYD and its lack of development of a cheaper model, among others?
Yes, I think that Tesla has a future-this is only last year they lost their best place on the best-selling car in the world (for Toyota). So let’s remember that Tesla is still selling Very cars. After saying, Tesla has an aging fleet, has a general director with his attention, which is directed very much elsewhere, and above all he has a problem with the brand and reputation. Musk antics hit the company directly – even their head of finance Vaibhav Tanaua was forced to admit Thus, in the April call for earnings, saying “unjustified hostility towards our brand, and our people had an impact on some markets.”
And Cyberbruck was an unlimited disaster.
Tesla desperately needs a win. I need a novel low-cost electric car and no amount of dressing up in novel clothes in novel clothes will cut it. He also has to look at his autonomous technology, because Chinese brands favorable to Lidar also beat it.
Let’s face the truth, Chinese brands have learned a lot from Tesla and now they come to Elon’s lunch – and now Tesla is not able to compete. How long can it last? How long can the board be with them gloomy sales data? We’ll see. But one thing is certain: he can’t continue like that.
Will China really be able to get to the European market, taking into account the combination of tariffs and European consumer preferences for their own home brands?
Yes, and they are already. Chinese manufacturer of the producer of BYD Outsells Tesla in EuropeAnd now he releases its premium brand, Denza, also – think Audi or BMW. Xpeng is also there, like NIO.
