Monthly sales reports highlight that it still leads the EV race in the U.S. by a noteworthy margin, partially thanks to other performance-limiting events to a flurry of new updates to its most popular models. Tesla has been able to achieve this thanks to several key decisions, such as being so early in the mass production EV market, competitive pricing strategies, and offering a good balance of performance and efficiency.Adding to their popularity is the fact that Teslas benefit from attractive long-term maintenance costs, excluding theinevitable battery replacement job.
