Tesla Model 3 has been breaking records since its launch. This EV model of Tesla has successfully managed to win hearts and is in great demand.
However, the company missed the estimates of deliveries and production. This is for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2019-2020.
This for sure disheartened many including the investors. But the future forecasts are good. They show promising results for both production and deliveries. Moreover, there is more good news for the company.
It has managed to become the leader in the US market.
Tesla Model 3 becomes leader in the US market
Tesla Model 3 now becomes the dominating company in the market of electric vehicles. This is in the United States.
The sales for the first quarter of 2019 have been great for Tesla. This is despite the company missing the estimates.
About 60 percent of the sales of EV is of Tesla Model 3. Moreover, about 8 percent is of Model S. 7 percent more captured by Model X of Tesla.
Therefore Tesla owns 75 percent of the share. This is after combining the sales of these 3 top models.
In quarter one of 2018, the market cap of Tesla was 67 percent. However, in 2019 it has risen to 75 percent. That is 8 percent more than the previous year.
Other models which could make impressive captures
Tesla managed to capture almost 75 percent of the sales. However, there are other models as well who have an impressive capture.
At the second place is Chevy Bolt. This model has almost 11 percent of the sales in quarter one.
Apart from this, at the second place is LEAF of Nissan. The sales of LEAF was 7 percent of the total.
What makes Tesla desirable?
Owning 75 percent of the total sales is a big thing. And we must give Tesla credits for that.
However, it’s important to understand what makes Model 3 so desirable. Tesla has its own set of unique features. It is because of them, that the sales have risen.
These features are especially designed to attract customers. Tesla has a broad range along with moderate cost.
Moreover it has great features and good performance. Model 3 is available for only $35,000. The figure in itself is attractive. Because it allows easy acquisition.
The company is hoping for better sales in quarter two.
