Should Elon Musk Be Worried? Toyota, Hyundai, And Ford Challenge Tesla On Home Turf With More EVs On US Roads As Billionaire's Auto Giant Faces Sales Slump
While Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) sales in the U.S. have been dropping since the start of the year, South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor (OTC:HYMTF) and Japanese player Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:TM) have been gaining ground in the country.
特斯拉公司（NASDAQ:TSLA）在美國的銷售自年初以來一直在下降，而韓國汽車製造商現代汽車（OTC:HYMTF）和日本車企豐田汽車公司（NYSE:TM）在美國市場上不斷取得進展。
Tesla Sales Drop: Tesla sales in the U.S. fell by nearly 10% since the start of the year and through the end of the second quarter, according to Kelley Blue Book estimates. Tesla does not segment its deliveries geography-wise, leaving third-party data as the sole means of tracking their sales in the country.
特斯拉銷售下滑：根據凱利藍書的估計，特斯拉在美國的銷售從年初到第二季度末下降了近10%。特斯拉不會對其交付進行地域劃分，只留下第三方數據作爲跟蹤其在美國銷售的唯一手段。
As per the data, Tesla sold 304,451 units in the first half of the year as opposed to 336,892 vehicles in the corresponding period of last year.
據數據顯示，特斯拉在今年上半年銷售了304,451輛車，而去年同期爲336,892輛車。
While the sales drop was experienced across Tesla's lineup, Model 3 sales took the largest hit. The company sold only 73,552 Model 3 sedans in the first half of this year as opposed to 112,791 units in the first half of 2023, likely due to the production ramp of the updated Model 3 at the company's Fremont factory.
儘管特斯拉整個產品線的銷售下滑，但Model 3車型的銷售最受影響。今年上半年，特斯拉僅銷售了73,552輛Model 3轎車，而2013年上半年爲112,791輛，這很可能是由於公司在弗裏蒙特工廠推出更新的Model 3而導致的生產增長步伐緩慢。
Tesla introduced the updated version of the Model 3 in the U.S. market in January.
特斯拉公司於今年1月在美國市場推出了更新的Model 3車型。
Foreign Players Sell More EVs: But despite the American EV giant dropping in sales, foreign players have gained ground. Toyota sold 9,468 EVs in the period, marking a jump of 159% year-on-year. Toyota's luxury brand Lexus, meanwhile, saw EV sales jump about 405% to 5,639 units, owing to the rise in popularity of its Lexus RZ electric SUV.
外國企業銷售更多的電動汽車：儘管美國電動汽車巨頭的銷售下降，但外國車企卻獲得了進展。豐田在該時期內售出9,468輛電動汽車，同比增長159%。豐田的豪華品牌雷克薩斯電動汽車銷量也增長了約405%，達到5,639輛，這得益於其雷克薩斯RZ電動SUV的普及。
South Korea's Hyundai too is rising in popularity in the region. While Hyundai saw its EV sales surge 34% to 29,105 units owing to the popularity of its Ioniq models, its sister brand Kia saw sales jump 104% to 27,634 units.
韓國的現代汽車在該地區也越來越受歡迎。雖然現代汽車的電動汽車銷量增長了34%，達到29,105輛，這要歸功於其Ioniq系列的普及，但其姊妹品牌起亞的銷量也增長了104%，達到27,634輛。
Hyundai's luxury brand Genesis also marked a nearly 27% growth in sales to 3,241 units, with the popularity of its GV70 Performance SUV making up for the drop in sales of its other EVs including the G80.
現代汽車的豪華品牌Genesis的銷量也增長了近27%，達到3,241輛，其GV70 Performance SUV的普及彌補了其其他電動汽車銷量下降的缺口，包括G80。
Other Domestic Player Performance: Foreign brands are not alone in their EV sales growth. Michigan-based Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) saw a 71.8% jump in EV sales in the first six months of 2024 to 44,180 units, while American EV startup Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) registered a 33% rise in sales to 27,378, according to Kelley Blue Book data.
國內品牌的表現：外國品牌的電動汽車銷售增長並不是孤立的現象。根據凱利藍書的數據，總部位於密歇根州的福特汽車公司（NYSE:F）在2024年的前六個月內其電動汽車銷量激增71.8%，達到44,180輛，而美國電動汽車創業公司Rivian Automotive（納斯達克：RIVN）的銷量增長了33%，達到27,378輛。
General Motors' (NYSE:GM) Cadillac brand also saw sales rise by 465% to 13,094 units, owing to a rise in sales of its Lyriq SUV while Chevrolet EV sales dropped by nearly 41% to 19,918 units, likely due to the stop in production of its Bolt EV in December.
通用汽車（NYSE:GM）旗下的凱迪拉克品牌的銷量也增長了465%，達到13,094輛，這主要要歸功於其Lyriq SUV的銷售增長，而雪佛蘭的電動汽車銷量則下降了近41%，達到19,918輛，這可能是由於其Bolt EV在去年12月停產。
