In the European market, Tesla finally meets its opponents. According to data, the two best-selling electric vehicles in Europe in April came from the Volkswagen Group: the number one Volkswagen ID.4 sold 7,335 units, and the second Volkswagen ID.3 sold 5735 units. At the same time, according to foreign media estimates, the electric vehicles produced by Volkswagen accounted for 34% of the total European pure electricity market in April.

Looking at the overall situation in April, new energy vehicles (plug-in hybrid/pure electric) accounted for 15% of the total car sales in the European market. Among them, the total sales of pure electric models were 71,500 (a year-on-year increase of 338%), and the total sales of plug-in hybrid models were 81,000 (a year-on-year increase of 507%).

From the perspective of sales rankings, the monthly sales of the top ten pure electric vehicles have exceeded 2,000 units. The popularity of Volkswagen ID.4 also seems to indicate that European pure electric vehicles will usher in a period of explosive sales of SUVs. At the same time, we can also find that Tesla is missing a brand that everyone is familiar with on the European sales list in April.

According to calculations by foreign analysts, the cumulative sales of Volkswagen Group's electric vehicles in Western Europe in the past December have exceeded 200,000 units. In contrast, Tesla's total sales have remained at around 100,000 units.

Tesla officials have stated that the impact of chip shortages and supply chain fluctuations has had a negative impact on its sales performance in recent months.

But what is interesting is that data from the Federation of Passengers shows that Tesla's Shanghai plant exported 14,100 new cars to Europe in April. However, it is not difficult to infer from the actual sales list that these new cars have not really been delivered to European consumers. The specific reason is temporarily unknown.

On the other hand, in the Chinese market, the sales performance of Volkswagen ID.4 models did not meet expectations. In April, SAIC Volkswagen sold 738 ID.4X monthly units, and FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 Crozz sold 684 monthly units. The best-selling is in sharp contrast.

Where did Tesla's more than 10,000 cars exported to Europe sold? Can the follow-up of Volkswagen ID.4 replicate the best-selling overseas in China? These are topics worthy of your follow-up attention.
