And since BYD hasn’t been talked about for some time, the enticing Seal sedan was #11 with 15,356 registrations in solely its fourth month available on the market!

It appears the Bavarian automaker is lastly getting critical in ramping up its midsize providing.

Regardless of this, the signal has been given: even when the Mannequin 3 ends the yr within the 2nd spot, it’s not untouchable and Tesla’s #1 and #2 rankings will likely be at risk subsequent yr, particularly contemplating that this yr, the Mannequin 3 is down by 1% YoY — and within the context of a quick rising plugin market.
