The Days Of Tesla Dominance Are Coming To An End

The Mach-E club forum recently posted a poll asking future Mach-E owners if they would be trading in their Teslas for the new Ford EV. The two poll choices were 'Yes, Ford is the future', and 'No, I drive something else'. The poll has been live for two days, and there are still three days left to cast your vote. So far 100 people have responded, and the results show that a surprisingly significant 32 percent of respondents will be swapping out their Teslas for the new Ford Mach-E, while 68 percent won't be making the move from the Palo Alto-based EV maker.

If these figures are even a vague indication of sales going forward, it's clear that the Ford Mustang Mach-E will make a noticeable dent in Tesla sales. But what about the Volkswagen ID.4, which is set to do battle against the Tesla Model Y? Members of the VW ID Talk forum also posted its own poll, asking members what cars they drive. The poll was posted a month ago, and so far 61 members have responded. Of those 61, only two responded indicated that they drive a Tesla, supporting VW's assertion that itwill not be a direct Tesla rival. Volkswagen does not enjoy nearly as much popularity in the US as Ford does, so this result does not come as surprise, but one thing's for certain; Tesla's days of market-leading glory are coming under increasing threat.
