High Promoting Auto Manufacturers

In October, #1 BYD, now deep into pricing out the competitors (fossil fueled and electrical…) didn’t disappoint. It scored some 482,000 registrations, which is, in fact, a brand new report. With gross sales at this stage already, one begins to surprise how excessive the Shenzhen make’s gross sales may go. Would 800,000 models per 30 days be attainable?

As for Tesla, it continues randomly switching between black and purple, between development and dropping gross sales. After a 24% drop in September, the corporate stayed within the black in October, if by solely 6%. As of 2024, there have been 5 development months (January, Could, July, September, and October) and 5 months within the purple (February, March, April, June, and August).

No matter what occurs in 2024, count on 2025 to be a yr of development, with the Mannequin Y refresh, the Cybertruck ramp-up, and (perhaps) a brand new, cheaper mannequin within the second half of the yr — with the query now being: “By how a lot?”

Beneath the highest two, we have now three Chinese language manufacturers, with Wuling successful the final place on the rostrum with near 78,000 registrations, one other report, adopted by #4 Geely, which acquired 65,000 registrations, a brand new report — and this efficiency is an important of the three, as Geely has various fashions ramping up (Geely Galaxy E5, Geome Xingyuan) or within the pipeline (Geely Galaxy Starship 7). Anticipate it to proceed rising within the desk in 2025, most likely ending the yr in third.

In fifth, we have now Li Auto. Regardless of not hitting a report end result, it was up 27% YoY.

A couple of positions under, the highlights additionally got here from China, with 4 manufacturers scoring report outcomes. #8 Leapmotor scored 38,000 registrations, its third report efficiency in a row. #14 Zeekr had a report 25,000 registrations. In #18, we have now XPeng, which had a report 24,009 registrations, with the brand new Mona M03 representing virtually half of XPeng’s deliveries. And in #20, we have now Changan’s premium model, Deepal, which, due to a report results of its S7 SUV (11,970 models), noticed its deliveries attain a report 22,000 models.

A ultimate point out goes out to Xiaomi, which ended the month on the gates of the desk with a report 20,726 registrations. That’s no small feat for a make that, for now no less than, solely has one mannequin in its lineup.

Within the YTD desk, whereas BYD has double the gross sales of Tesla, and the US model has thrice as many registrations because the third positioned model, the final place on the rostrum noticed a place change, with Wuling surpassing BMW. The Chinese language model benefitted from giant volumes coming from its scorching sellers, the Wuling Mini EV and the Bingo hatchback.

There was additionally a place change within the sixth place, with Geely surpassing Volkswagen in what might be seen as an “apprentice surpassing its grasp” form of factor. Will Geely now go after #5 Li Auto? One factor is for certain: the Taizhou make is sort of probably the strongest contender for the bronze medal in 2025.

Within the second half of the desk, Leapmotor profited once more from a endless report streak of performances to proceed climbing up the desk, leaping three positions to 14th!

Chery was as much as #18, whereas we now have a brand new model on the desk down on the backside. Zeekr joined the perfect sellers in #20, the third Geely model on the desk, and the eleventh Chinese language make among the many greatest sellers.

High Promoting Auto Teams

Taking a look at registrations by OEM, #1 BYD once more gained share, due to refreshes and new mannequin launches, going from 23.4% to its present 24% (it had 22.1% a yr in the past). Tesla ended October with 10.5 % share (it had 13.4% in the identical interval of 2023).

third place is within the palms of Geely–Volvo, with the OEM rising by 0.1% to eight% share. Together with BYD, Geely is the one different OEM to develop share within the prime 10, going from 6.7% in October 2023 to its present 8%.

Contemplating Tesla’s eroding share and Geely’s continued development, may we see the Chinese language juggernaut threaten Tesla’s silver medal? Possibly in Q3 of 2025 it may very effectively occur.

In the meantime, Volkswagen Group stayed in 4th (5.8%, down 0.1%), however misplaced a few of its benefit over #5 SAIC (5.4%, up from 5.3%). Because of Wuling’s constructive output, the Shanghai-based OEM managed to compensate for the sluggish month from the remainder of the lineup.

Beneath SAIC, #6 Changan (3.6%) surpassed #7 BMW Group (3.5%, down from 3.6% in September). Additional underlining the present gross sales blues of legacy OEMs, #8 Hyundai–Kia was down by 0.1% (on this case to three.3%) and #9 Stellantis was down 0.2% (to three%).

A worrying signal of the Stellantis efficiency is that in 12 months it has misplaced virtually a 3rd of the EV share it had in October 2023 (4.4% then vs. 3% now), so the CEO’s current resignation (sadly) comes as no huge shock….

I virtually really feel like saying it’s not EV gross sales which are down, it’s legacy EV gross sales which are falling….

Trying simply at BEVs, Tesla remained within the lead with 16.7% share, but it surely has misplaced 2.6% share in comparison with the identical interval final yr. In second is BYD (16.1%, down from 16.2% in September). With Tesla shedding share, we would see BYD surpass it within the first half of 2025. It isn’t doing so sooner, as a result of the Shenzhen OEM is now specializing in PHEVs, so count on solely vital development on its BEV facet beginning in Q2 of subsequent yr.

Geely–Volvo (8.2%, up from 7.8%) was up strongly due to good outcomes throughout its lengthy lineup of manufacturers. Evaluating the OEM’s efficiency to the place it was 12 months in the past, the progress is seen, leaping from 6.2% share in October 2023 to its present 8.2%!

SAIC (7.4%) can be on the rise, a lot due to Wuling, with the Shanghai OEM having a major benefit over #5 Volkswagen Group (6.7%, down from 6.8% in September), which ought to stay there by means of the top of the yr.

Beneath the highest 5, BMW Group (4.1%, down from 4.2% in September) is regular in sixth, adopted by #7 Hyundai–Kia (4%, down 0.1%).
