Europeans and Canadians don't want to buy American anything anymore.

I disagree with "it didn't go well". I'd say it went pretty well. Most cars fell 30-40% short of their WLTP ratings. They probably fall 10-20% short of that in summer anyway. And -30DegC is a rare temperature where I live (Scotland). We will see -10DegC occasionally, and it would be pretty bad luck for that to coincide with a long road trip.

As for the winners in this test: seems like the Koreans (EV4, Inster, Musso, not so much Ioniq 9) and MG (6S and IM6) did best. Which is a surprising result for me. It's the first time I've heard of Voyah Courage but it did well also.

The losers? Suzuki, Opel, Volvo and Lucid seemed to fair particularly poorly. The rest is all mid pack.

$TSLA fanbois always claim that only Tesla can sell EVs at a profit / with a huge margin (something like $10k per vehicle). Would be interested to see what kind of margin per vehicle they are making now that the tax credits are removed and it appears that much of the profit came from energy storage.

BMW, Mercedes and Volvo are (rightfully) getting a lot of praise for their latest offerings.

Can't help but feel a bit bad for Audi. The Q6 / A6 were maybe 1.5 years early and can't quite match the latest offerings in terms of battery size or SDV. And price. Still, very good cars on the used market

Not surprising that they are killing S and X

S, X and CT sold a combined 50,850 globally in 2025, down from 85,133 the year before. Actually 2025 was the lowest number since 2021.

Only surprising part is that they are not killing the CT and continue to promise the roadster.

So no longer S3XY as originally planned. Now 3YCTR? R3CTY?

A reddit thread like that is more or less how I ended up here, though I'm still finding my way

Misleading. This was for one month of data (not even a quarter) and fails to mention that the most popular fuel type in that month of sales was petrol hybrids. EVs outsold pure petrol cars only, because they are becoming rare. EVs did not ourself cars that get their energy from petrol.

Canadian national security is threatened more by the USA than it is by China at the moment. It's incredible, but it's true.

Clickbait. Petrol hybrids are still the most popular fuel type in December. Also: we should ignore all articles that report on sales over a period of less than a quarter.

Fine. They don't clean the air. They lead to cleaner air.
