The contribution is as usual super. 😄 But I'm not sure if you can compare the two at all. In the e-car market, Tesla is simply a completely different number than BMW. BYD and Tesla have divided up the market. To put this into perspective: In Germany, no one would probably choose a Tesla under equivalent conditions, because the name BMW simply carries a high-quality standard. Tesla, however, is technologically superior in e-mobility. And if you now look at the overall picture for China: VW still dominates the car market there, followed by GM and BYD. Tesla is far behind. You should never underestimate a market dominance like that, almost over decades. And that's exactly the point you've also described. The scent average earnings is about $22,000. So an e-car averages about 1.5 years' wages. Ergo, even there the e-car market will be saturated in the near future because primarily the upper middle class can afford it and the lucrative subsidies will expire or be reserved for domestic manufacturers if necessary. Combustion engines are not out of fashion there and are considerably cheaper. But this is precisely where German manufacturers can score points, hopefully invest in the right research and catch up considerably.
