The Chinese are weakening, Tesla returns to lead: what it is preparing for the coming year

According to the Israel Vehicle Importers Association's delivery table, Tesla is the best-selling electric car in Israel. The article reviews Tesla's plans for the coming year: a delay in approving the FSD system in Europe, marketing the Semi truck in a European version next year, and unveiling the new Roadster in early October. The decline in Chinese sales, due to rapid depreciation and a shortage of spare parts, is pushing Israelis toward the familiar brand.

According to the Israel Vehicle Importers Association's delivery table, which has not yet been officially published, Tesla is the best-selling electric car in Israel. The article examines how Tesla leads the market despite cheap Chinese competition, attributing this to the sharp decline in Chinese sales due to rapid depreciation, a shortage of spare parts, and high insurance costs. The main part of the article covers three key events for Tesla's future: a delay in the European Union vote on approving the FSD (semi-autonomous driving) system to December, after a Belgian safety organization published data questioning the system's safety; marketing a European version of the electric Semi truck next year, with potential revenue from manufacturers needing to 'join forces' against pollution fines; and unveiling the new Roadster in early October, an extreme sports car designed to build an image against Chinese luxury competition.
