Tesla, a dominant player for over a decade, has seen its market share fall below 50% for the first time. Traditional automakers are attracting customers with newer models.
十多年来一直占据主导地位的特斯拉的市场份额首次降至50％以下。传统汽车制造商正在用新车型吸引客户。
Kia, part of the Hyundai Motor Group (OTC:HYMTF), is experiencing growth in EV and hybrid sales. To boost sales further, Kia introduced a national Tesla Competitive Bonus Program. This program offers a $1,000 discount on the new EV6 and a $9,000 discount on the larger EV9 for Tesla owners or lessees, according to Cars Direct.
起亚是现代汽车集团（场外交易代码：HYMTF）的一部分，电动汽车和混合动力汽车的销量正在增长。为了进一步促进销售，起亚推出了全国性的特斯拉竞争奖励计划。根据Cars Direct的数据，该计划为特斯拉车主或承租人提供新款EV6的1,000美元折扣，为较大的EV9提供9,000美元的折扣。
Why It Matters: Musk's response to Kia's incentive comes at a time when the electric vehicle market is becoming increasingly competitive.
为何重要：马斯克对起亚激励措施的回应是在电动汽车市场竞争日益激烈的时候做出的。
Tesla has been a dominant force in the EV sector, but traditional automakers like Kia and Hyundai Motor Group are gaining ground. According to data from the Korea Automobile Manufacturers Association, Hyundai and Kia collectively secured 11.2% of the U.S. EV market in the first five months of 2024, a significant increase from their 6.8% share in 2023.
特斯拉一直是电动汽车领域的主导力量，但起亚和现代汽车集团等传统汽车制造商正在取得进展。根据韩国汽车制造商协会的数据，现代和起亚在2024年前五个月共同获得了美国电动汽车市场11.2％的份额，较2023年的6.8％大幅增长。
Moreover, Tesla has been employing its own set of incentives to boost sales in various markets. For instance, in China, Tesla offered free supercharging miles to new customers and existing customers who replaced their tires at Tesla-operated service centers.
此外，特斯拉一直在使用自己的一系列激励措施来促进各个市场的销售。例如，在中国，特斯拉向新客户和在特斯拉运营的服务中心更换轮胎的现有客户提供免费增压里程。
Additionally, Musk has been vocal about the inefficiency of state EV incentives in the U.S., stating that they are "seldom used" due to a lack of awareness or excessive paperwork.
此外，马斯克一直在大声疾呼美国各州的电动汽车激励措施效率低下，称由于缺乏认识或文书工作过多，这些激励措施 “很少使用”。
