Data published by the U.K.’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) showed Tesla’s new car sales dropped by nearly 60% to 987 units last month, down from 2,462 a year ago.
BYD sold 3,184 units in the U.K. in July, more than quadrupling its sales from a year ago. The company enjoyed similar success in Germany, notching a year-on-year sales uptick of nearly 390%.
I’m not generally opposed, but smaller american car manufacturers don’t tend to reach us here. Some guy just recently brought two Rivians to the country and it got into national news. So I’m guessing those two are the only ones here.
