First Quarter EV Sales

I have to admit, I wouldn’t have bought an EV without access to the Tesla supercharger network. My Model Y came with 6 months of free supercharger use so that is what I’ve been using almost solely. It takes about 20 mins per charge, time I use to get 20 min of walking/shopping/exercise. Particularly like wall squats as that reduces blood pressure according to the Brits. I’ve down longer trips using the built-in Tesla navigation. It arranges the route by supercharger stops so is pretty convenient

It might have been a production problem in Europe. Tesla sold 89,000 Shanghai-made cars in March 2024. If, as I believe, Tesla-Shanghai capacity is a million cars/year then this seems like max production despite what one might have heard on the media about a Tesla-Shanghai production slow-down. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of that China production are late deliveries to Europe to make up for Tesla Berlin backlog. Tesla China sales rise 47.5% to 89,064 wholesale units in March: CPCA
