Slight disadvantage! Tesla is not as good as BMW in 2021 in sales of American luxury brands

In 2021, Tesla can be described as the limelight in the global auto market, as a pure electric vehicle, it has entered the forefront of the car sales list in many regions, refreshing various records of electric vehicle sales. However, the data released by a statistical agency recently shows that in its hometown of the United States, BMW has slightly overpowered Tesla and become the highest-selling luxury brand in the United States in 2021.

According to data recently released by global information services group Experian, BMW has 347453 new cars registered in the United States in 2021, while Tesla is 342412, and the difference between the two is only 5041. Although Tesla narrowly lost the championship, its strong performance in the past year is undoubtedly a more impressive one. Considering that compared with BMW, Tesla is still clinging to BMW in the case of a small number of current models and all of them are electric vehicles, this performance is still phenomenal. In addition, Tesla has also left behind a number of traditional luxury car brands, including Mercedes-Benz and Lexus, and has opened up a big gap.

Although Tesla failed to reach the top of the sales championship in 2021, it is likely to complete the counterattack against BMW this year. Musk previously announced that Tesla's sales will increase by another 50% this year, and thanks to the opening of Tesla's gigafactory in Austin, Texas, its production capacity will be further increased in the near future. For BMW, it is almost a difficult thing to achieve a 50% increase in sales, so the position of the sales king of American luxury brands in 2022 will most likely be won by Tesla.
