UK car sales for July announced. Tesla take the UK by storm!

[Mr Miserable]

The UK car sales stats for July have been released. SMMT Stats

It worth having a look at July 22 Sales by Brand. There you will find the staggering figure for Tesla.
3. Three!
Come on, own up. You know who you are.
I'm very surprised we haven't seen the Daily Mail latch on to this bit of news - I'm sure some fossil-based lobbyist will tip them off.

PS I never click anything that is 'taking the country by storm".

Your headline could also have been "Tesla sales fall by over 60%"

Or "Bentley sold 4000% more cars than Tesla in July"

Data is a wonderfully dangerous thing if you don't understand the context

It’s all driven by the lease deals on offer at the time and which manufactures can deliver on those rather than saying that Corsa’s sold more because they’re a better car than the others.

Whichever way the stats are spun, for a company that has only been around for 10+ years, this is incredible.

Yes, the product is not perfect (my last 3 Mercedes were not either). Yes the competition has a lot more experience and catching Tesla up.

However imagine what these billions of income of sales will bring to Tesla, and as a result what the product and brand could be like in another 10 years time.

3 registrations in July? It is the start of Q3 - don't Tesla plan production and delivery to be mid - end quarterly? @Mr Miserable you'd know better than me on this point..

Anyway, YTD figures look better: 21k.

Has there been another (very substantial) price hike?

As Mr Musk joked when GM produced just 26 EV's in Q4 of 2021:
"Room to improve"

I can't look at these tables because the thing that shall not be named beginning with Q will be near the top of everything and I like to pretend they don't exist

Wonder if Bob Dorough was one of them

I heard that Elon had more children in July than Tesla sold TM3’s.
