The first quarter of 2022 quietly passed, the changes in the entire economic environment are more obvious than the previous two years, as for the reason is self-evident, everyone understands, and although the competition in the automobile circle is still fierce, but the price increase trend is difficult to suppress, new energy and fuel vehicles are rising in price, the brilliant scene of price reduction and market grabbing seems to be gone? So in this case, how did the car companies perform in the first quarter?
tesla
It is still worth discussing Tesla, which has been constantly negative for many years, but has been driving high. In the first quarter of this year, 310,000 vehicles were delivered, a record high, an increase of 67.7% year-on-year. Among them, Model 3 and Model Y are still the main sales force, accounting for 95%, a total of 295,300 units. And Tesla has always targeted global users, maybe Musk really knows enough about humans? Secondly, in the domestic market, although Tesla's "scandals" are frequent, it is undeniable that Tesla can be seen in the streets, alleys, provinces, cities, and counties, which may be the power of science and technology?

BYD
BYD may be called "the gift of the times", or "the opportunity is always left to those who are prepared", and it is BYD new energy that is ready.
The strength of BYD New Energy is promising, and it can be clearly seen from the data that the cumulative sales of BYD automobiles in the first quarter 291378 vehicles, an increase of 179.78% year-on-year, while the cumulative sales of BYD New Energy in the first quarter of this year reached 286329 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 422.97%, of which the best performance in the past March, sales reached 104878 vehicles, an increase of 333.06% year-on-year, and BYD has stopped the production of fuel vehicles since March. In the future, BYD Automobile will focus on the field of new energy.
It should also be said that BYD has been a pioneer and became the first company to announce the cessation of vehicle production of fuel vehicles. It can be said that it has been dormant for many years, and ATD cars are currently thriving.

Honda China
In the first quarter of this year, Honda's Sales in China fell by 9.3% year-on-year, with only 353786 units sold, and the performance in March was even more incredible, with car sales 101061, down 33.2% year-on-year. Compared with other brands, Honda China is rising and falling, perhaps there are reasons for the rise of independent car companies, but also have factors such as environment and raw materials, but in fact, the problems faced by all car companies/brands are the same, and the market cake is basically fixed, and consumers have made choices. So should Honda China rethink it?
One word comment: a bit incredible
Seahorse Cars
The first reaction is that the hippocampus car is still there? Anyone else buys? Although its sales figures are indeed a bit spicy, sales in March were only 2048 units, while its output was 2057 units, which is almost synchronous production and sales! However, seeing the data that sales in March fell by 37.54% year-on-year, I have to sigh that there are really people who recognize Haima Automobile. As a veteran domestic car company established for 33 years, Haima Automobile seems to have been eliminated by the times, but it is undeniable that almost all of this stems from the fact that Haima Automobile's core technology relies too much on external forces, from research and development to product update speed is too slow, misunderstanding the market demand. Once again, it proves that car companies want long-term peace and stability, and they must not follow the steps.

Lifan Technology
Seeing the sales of new energy vehicles announced by Lifan Technology is a bit surprised, what kind of cars does Lifan sell? In the first quarter of this year, its new energy vehicle sales increased by 5068.22% year-on-year, although the total sales volume was only 5530 units. Dig deeper, and then know that this includes the model that is partnered with Geely Automobile, is it the Maple Leaf Car? However, it also proves one thing from the side, Lifan has always had cars, and this brand that once brushed all over the corner of Chongqing Kaka is still trying its best to retain the word "Lifan".

Finally, the competition of an industry is inevitable, and for the automotive circle, the core technology is also the foundation, it can be said that the current situation is that car companies such as Tesla and BYD have their own plans, continuous development and innovation, and brands such as Haima Automobile or Lifan Automobile now only have to join in the fun and watch the drama.
