California is Tesla's home base, and although Tesla's headquarters have now moved to Texas, California remains their most important market in the world. In 2021, Tesla's sales in California increased by 69% year-on-year, and it occupied 2 seats in the total auto best-selling list.
Top 5 in the 2021 California Automotive Best-Seller List:
1. Toyota Camry, 61599 units.
2, Tesla Model Y, 60394 units.
3. Honda Civic, 59,818 units.
4. Toyota RAV4, 59153 units.
5. Tesla Model 3, 53572 units.
Despite being tesla's former headquarters, in 2021, California's share of pure electric vehicles is only 9.5 percent, a figure far below the mainland's level of development. According to the association data, the mainland was 20.1% in December 2021, compared with only 3.9% in the UNITED States in the same period. At present, there is only one Tesla electric vehicle company in the United States, and we are a hundred flowers, and the high-end and low-end markets can be satisfied, which may be where the gap lies.
Although there are currently many electric vehicle orders in the hands of Ford, GM, Rivian, Lucid and other car companies in the United States, for various reasons, the production capacity of these car companies is difficult to be significantly improved in a short period of time. Therefore, in 2022 or even 2023, Tesla's dominance in California should be further consolidated. Especially after Cybertronck began mass production, Tesla, which has more than one million orders, has a great opportunity to continue to increase its share.
