The Tesla Cybertruck Has Strong Sales Potential, But Only If US Buyers Step Up

Tesla has done very well globally. But Cybertruck is aimed at the US market where electric trucks aren't popular.

These two brands dominate the August rankings with huge increases in sales.

According to JATO data compiled for Motor1, the Model Y was the first electric car to lead global sales for a period.

Tesla holds the top two spots, followed by the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV. But there are many surprises.

In 2022, electric car sales stood at 8.8 percent of the total.

The company features cutting-edge technology and good positioning, but is that enough?

Leader of hybrid powertrains, the Japanese company is late in the development of EVs. What will its future be?

The Tesla range is close to eight years old on average, but Lada is 19 years old.

In the US, share was 5.1 percent between January and October 2022. In Europe, more than 1 vehicle out of 10 is electric.
