Within the U.S., Tesla dominates the dialog round electrical autos, however in Europe, it’s a distinct story. Germany-based Volkswagen Group has risen from the ashes of its 2015 emissions scandal to grow to be the EV market chief in Europe, the place it has an edge due to native manufacturing, model familiarity, and cheaper worth factors. However whether or not Volkswagen can broaden its enchantment to grow to be the worldwide EV chief stays to be seen.
Germany-based Volkswagen Group has risen from the ashes of its 2015 emissions scandal to grow to be the EV market chief in Europe, the place the corporate reported that it had 26% market share within the first half of 2021. Whereas Tesla’s Mannequin 3 has been promoting effectively within the area, Volkswagen’s native manufacturing, model familiarity and cheaper worth factors have helped give it an edge over Tesla.
However as Elon Musk goals to start out manufacturing on the Berlin Gigafactory by 12 months’s finish, Volkswagen’s lead might be short-lived.
Within the quickly rising EV market, analysts say the Volkswagen Group advantages from its big selection of manufacturers, which incorporates luxurious marques like Audi, Bentley and Porsche. VW’s hottest EV in Europe is the extra reasonably priced ID.3, a hatchback that begins at round $40,000. And in September 2020, Volkswagen launched the ID.4, an SUV aimed on the international market that has since grow to be Volkswagen’s top-selling EV total.
Nonetheless, Volkswagen nonetheless lags behind Tesla globally. Tesla delivered greater than 627,000 EVs within the first three quarters of 2021, whereas Volkswagen offered about 293,000 automobiles. However Volkswagen, together with different conventional automakers and EV startups, plans to launch an abundance of latest all-electric fashions within the subsequent decade.

Why Volkswagen Is Beating Tesla In Europe
source
Because vw is better
Is VW really making money on producing EVs? How can VW compete with Tesla when they produce more than 3 times slower – even before the Giga Berlin starts? How much debt has VW compared to Tesla – what does this mean when VW thinks to invest $100-200 bn more?
EV is a great idea…but…..we’re seeing electric prices rising and can demand for more electricity be met ecologically?
Cause they count dealer sales as actual sales when it’s just sitting in a different lot…vw is a women’s car just look at it…
because Tesla's craftmanship is dogshit.
Oh right.. I am on CNBC, no wonder biased against Tesla. VW is the lying company that literally screwed with EPA and programmed cars to lie about emissions.
No account is taken that the Chinese are coming. The second largest EV maker in the world is BYD, and is more vertically integrated than Tesla, in fact Tesla is buying 200,000 sets of batteries from them. VW is getting ahead of the curve of them arriving, but all the other legacy car makers are heading for toilet.
VW is a force!!!!
everytime VW CEO wants to make changes commiting to electric…the unions are about to kick him out, look it up! happen twice in the last 18 month. VW is doomed.
VW has more style then those ugly Tesla's
let me tell you why
1. People are forced to buy electric in Europe
2. VW has cheaper electric cars that Tesla
3. Some europeans want a european car brand
We Euro people wan't quality instead of plastic, badly build crap.
its simple we dont like Elon und the crapy build quality
I would never buy a #tesla with #elonmusk around 😂😂😂
I am from Europe, and I am not looking at Volkswagen, simply because they don't have a supercharger infrastructure. Tesla does.
No one want american junk.
Ugly cars, cheap design and to many design faults
When is the Volkswagen Battery Gate coming? It is clear that it will come from the USA. I think that it is already ready and just needs to be forwarded to the press.
Automakers keep going to China and getting their technologies ripped off by China. China then uses those technologies to compete against those automakers on a global scale without much of the need for R&D.
Fun fact the Gigafactory is not in Berlin. The factory is in Brandenburg.
VW needs to make a sexier EV. Give it nice sports car styling and good speed! The VW id cars look like big Chevy Bolts!
Carros elétricos queimam combustível na mesma proporção que um carro Diesel turbo comum. A diferença que é em uma termelétrica, além de usar 1t de lítio, ou seja polui mais ainda.
Teslas have a mediocre build quality, higher price tag and you can't personally buy parts for them.
While Volkswagen has good build quality, lower price tags and you can buy parts for them.
Maybe at the moment , and only because their association with the locals extreme environmentalists / unions etc fillings complains on just about any bolt , nuts used on the Tesla plant in Berlin . But once it gets going vw can kiss their ass good bye
wow…they're all coming for tesla.. in 2023… when Tesla will make 20million cars a year.. THEY are ALL sunk….just to little to late.. batteryfactories by 2030.. Tesla have 4-5 NOW in 2022..for 2millon cars in 2022…combined the rest.. well.. not even 1/4 of that..

vw represent quality and tradition, if you want so, u can drive a vw for 20-30 years with no major hassle, tesla is a stupid hype hippie garbage…tesla is a scam with no tradition, no nothing…….// and vw has an infinite larger infrastructure and logistics than tesla if you have a problem with your car you can resolve it in 1-2, 3 days maximum with vw, // with tesla you have to wait months to resolve something and even then, the quality of tesla service is miserable……..
Tesla created the space and did an incredible job. But now its market share has no where to go but down.
Bring back the 1.9tdi please
The shift to EVs is awesome across the board, and having more (affordable) options available will only benefit the consumer in the end. Hopefully soon there will be a good EV choice for every type of buyer out there.
On a personal level, I drive a M3 and when we were looking for a second “bigger” family car without wanting to go “full SUV”, we test drove the ID4 and it’s simply not for us. The price point for the highest spec (where we live) is not that much lower than the Model Y, but the driving experience is completely different and not in a good way for us. However, I can see it would probably be an awesome change for someone moving away from a similar type of diesel vehicle. VW know their market well, and those are the customers they need to “retain” and/or win over.
I hope to see fewer ICE vehicles on the road in the upcoming years. I can already see a huge difference compared to 3 or 4 years ago 🙌
CNBC should stop spreading fake news, vw or any other manufacturer can only dream of beating tesla in Europe.
Yeah but nobody's says anything about all the mining and environmentally destructive it is too get the raw materials to build electric cars. PLUS…. We still use firewall and oil to re charge such vehicles. So there's no really echo friendly electric cars.
what about the fact, that you will wait 3000 years on your tesla and in some countries they are even not available… lets put more sophisticated arguments and avoid the obvious ones. Humankind is funny.
In EU VW and its subbrands are associated with quality, reliability, and good service network, while Tesla is just overpriced fanboys brand.
So how is VW beating Tesla? Clickbait gets dislikes. I’ll never buy a VW for what they did with dieselgate.
Hello Mr. Musk, welcome to Grünheide/Germany … the german workers unions would like to have a word with you.
I hear many people saying that Tesla is still 10 years ahead of all other EV manufacturers but i beg to differ. If we look at reality, Tesla still has problems delivering a built quality on their cars that justifies a price of more than 100.000 USD for i.e. a Tesla S. You just have to seach for the words "Tesla quality problems" on YouTube and you will get several hits. Some of the videos I have seen shows an almost laughable quality of the car, which a company like VW would NEVER send to the market. Some of those people who claim that Tesla will still in 10-15 years be light years ahead of all other manufacturers – they also seem to think that all other EV manufacurers will not at all develop and become more innovative etc. But look at VW: When they invest more than 38 billion USD in the EV segment – then OF COURSE they will take giant steps. That is logic even to my 2-year-old son
Incredibly misleading title.
"Why we continue to find every possible excuse to destroy a company reputation that single handedly pushed the EV market forward and changed the world forever"
