One major automotive outlet says Tesla is no longer just a luxury brand, in part due to its unique pricing strategy over the past few years. In a column shared on Friday, Automotive News Executive Editor Jamie Butters laid out an update to a 2022 piece that had initially called Tesla a luxury brand. Now, he says, the automaker is more than a luxury brand, generally competing in a lower-priced market than back then—and especially as the Model Y seemingly became the world’s best-selling mode

One controversial topic I’ve covered here, much to the chagrin to the Tesla faithful, is the reliance on touchscreens in automobiles. The Touchscreen Debate In some ways, touchscreens are super awesome. It’s like Star Trek: The Next Generation 30+ years ago, where Lt. Commander Data piloted the Enterprise D around.

This new policy is still not aggressive enough. NIO and its battery partner are still trying to make profits from the BAAS business. That perceived profits scheme will reduce the adoption rate of BAAS program, ultimately reduce NIO's sale.

The Tesla Model 3 is the top selling mid-sized car in the country and the second best-selling EV – behind only the Tesla Model Y. It’s the entry-level Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive model that’s proven popular with those wanting to take the EV plunge. But the mid-grade Long Range model (a Tesla Model 3 Performance is on the way!) makes plenty of sense, especially for those who prefer all-wheel drive.

I always wondered why they decided to try battery swap on their own, from scratch. If Nio is as open to sharing as they promote themselves to be, then it would have seemed to be a no-brainer to use Nio technology and battery swap network to lower their costs. Sure it would have cost them a royalty fee to use, but that's surely better than trying to build thousands of battery swap stations at millions of dollars cost.

The U.S. government recently backed down from enacting tough new measures that would have forced automakers to quadruple their sales of electric vehicles by 2030. Even if Washington hadn’t buckled to outside pressure, the U.S. ambitions for 2030 would not have been exceptional. The move would have raised market share of all-electric vehicles in the U.S. to a level still well below 20 percent.
