    China: MIC Tesla Sales Surge To New Record In September 2021

    The overall sales and export volume increased almost 400%.


    In September Tesla's output in China was directed mostly to Chinese customers. This is why the local sales are 52,153 (up 360% year-over-year), compared to two weaker months (July and August) when the production was focused on export.

    Electric MG 5 EV estate gets new look for 2022

    The MG 5 has a 249-mile range and updated infotainment


    Not bad for £25k

    I like the MG5 and, with the longer range, this seems to be the best alternative to the TM3.

    What I don't like, however, is the "affinity" pricing meaning anyone outside the NHS and other slim qualifying groups would be crazy to buy.

    AIUI, Tesla have pretty much fixed pricing and minimal incentives on rare occasions.

    Imagine if it were the other way round and the special price was available to everyone except members of the NHS, emergency services or teachers.

    That would be equally wrong!

    It is limiting the potential sales to a rather restricted market.  Anyone else is faced with instant depreciation of the substantial "affinity" discount before the normal drive out the showroom depreciation gets added on top.

    May be it is a price target for negotiation with the dealer?
    I think....

    Indeed, heck of a lot of tech for the money !
    Apparently it's going on sale in Australia next year but no word on Europe yet.
