Tesla managed to reach the top of the 2022 U.S. luxury car race, with tesla having the highest number of new car registrations in January than any U.S. luxury car brand.
According to data released by Experian, Tesla registered 37,162 vehicles in January 2022, an increase of 49% year-on-year; BMW ranked second with 30,563 vehicles, with 8.2% year-on-year registrations; the top three were Lexus, with sales of 24,843 units, down 5.5% from last year; and Mercedes-Benz, which ranked fourth, saw a sharp decline, registering only 22,022 cars in January, compared with 2021 Compared with the year, it is down 20%.
According to Experian, Tesla also dominated the number of EV registrations in January (three of the top five):
Tesla Model Y-18, 549
Tesla Model 3- 13,604
Tesla Model S-3,903
Ford Mustang Mach-E-2.781
Hyundai IONIQ 5- 1,253
According to the previous situation, although BMW retained the title of American auto luxury brand in 2021, it still seems that the situation is still grim, and it should be known that BMW registered 347,453 cars in 2021, and Tesla also registered 342,412 cars. Therefore, many experts believe that 2022 may be an important year for Tesla in the US market, especially when Tesla's Texas factory is about to be completed, and there will be a substantial increase in sales at that time, and according to relevant media reports, Tesla's Fremont factory is also pushing production to a higher level.
So we can now boldly predict that with the change in the status of electric vehicles in the world and the special reasons of the US market, Tesla may be able to take advantage of the strong performance in January to firmly rank at the top of the US luxury car list until the end of 2022.
