Is it possible that people that wanted EVs already have them and they overestimated the demand?

Or they are just too expensive?

There is a reason.


The reason is the Mach-E itself versus just EVs. The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in the world in 2023 Q1. A first for an EV. It was also the 4th best-selling car in the US during Q1 behind the Big 3s trucks. The Model 3 was number 11 in the US and the only "car" that beat it was the Camry.

That's probably not correct:

...all the charts we could find from Tesla as well as from fawning electric-vehicle sites reporting on them, the company groups Model Y production and sales with Model 3 production and sales. Tesla delivered 412,180 Models 3/Y globally in the first quarter, and we can’t find the breakout among the two.

We reached out to Toyota for Corolla numbers, and the automaker reports it sold 740,561 Corollas worldwide in the first quarter of this year, counting all versions including the Cross. That’s about 75% more than Tesla, even if you count the Model 3 in with the Model Y. Sorry, Elon, not even close.
