Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In comments on The US auto industry is in big trouble. China now makes 75 percent of all electric vehicles sold anywhere on earth. US automakers make around 5 percent.

Sadly Tesla is still 6% of the EV market in Europe (apparently because of inclusion in Uber Black and UberXL)

Ugh ffs why would anyone use Uber anyway when we have Bolt and I'm assuming some other services (but Bolt is the main one here since it's an Estonian company and I'm Estonian)

I'm pretty sure there are even more Teslas in Bolt than in Uber. In my country most Tesla taxis are actually Bolts. Bolt in general seems to have more expensive cars than Uber, from what I've seen.

A lot of drivers had the idea of taking a loan for a Tesla, then paying it from driving for Uber/Bolt. Not sure how it's going for the Uber ones with Uber's declining driver rates.

Interesting. Most Bolts here in the homeland are Toyota or any of the German big 3 (including Škoda in that one since it's owned by VW)
