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.
十多年來一直佔據主導地位的特斯拉的市場份額首次降至50％以下。傳統汽車製造商正在用新車型吸引客戶。
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.
起亞是現代汽車集團（場外交易代碼：HYMTF）的一部分，電動汽車和混合動力汽車的銷量正在增長。爲了進一步促進銷售，起亞推出了全國性的特斯拉競爭獎勵計劃。根據Cars Direct的數據，該計劃爲特斯拉車主或承租人提供新款EV6的1,000美元折扣，爲較大的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.
爲何重要：馬斯克對起亞激勵措施的回應是在電動汽車市場競爭日益激烈的時候做出的。
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.
特斯拉一直是電動汽車領域的主導力量，但起亞和現代汽車集團等傳統汽車製造商正在取得進展。根據韓國汽車製造商協會的數據，現代和起亞在2024年前五個月共同獲得了美國電動汽車市場11.2％的份額，較2023年的6.8％大幅增長。
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勵措施來促進各個市場的銷售。例如，在中國，特斯拉向新客戶和在特斯拉運營的服務中心更換輪胎的現有客戶提供免費增壓里程。
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，馬斯克一直在大聲疾呼美國各州的電動汽車激勵措施效率低下，稱由於缺乏認識或文書工作過多，這些激勵措施 「很少使用」。
