Reply To: Electric company car – Tesla – advice

@TGLoyalty – I have accepted the facts you have preferred on the basis but one comment – “MG (SAIC backed and state owned) isn’t making waves either” didn’t smell right and upon checking isn’t very accurate.

While not “making waves” isn’t very precise, it implies a lack of success when in 2023, MG (with 81,289 cars sold) sold more cars in the UK than Peugeot, Skoda, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Jaguar, Fiat or Land Rover and far more than Tesla (49,571) or Polestar (12,543). Looks pretty successful to me. The showroom on Piccadilly is a strong statement of intent. There’s a clear reason why they are doing well.

I’m sure the irony of the apparent criticism of Chinese state ownership isn’t lost on you, given that MG was owned by the British state that ran the company into the ground…
