Trailing four quarters: Overall sales look to be in decline. Now 1.7 million vehicles over the last four quarters, down from almost 2.1 million in 2023. That is a drop of 22.4%. As an investor, I would be worried.

Yearly BEV sales: With one quarter still to go, they have already almost matched last year’s BEV figure. They are still about 75k units short of the 2023 record though.

The ID.7 is 30th. The image below shows all 471 known models. Is that even viewable? 😂 Second image: ID.7 registrations in Germany since launch. I would say they are doing ok. Third image: the same, cumulative. Sales below last year are actually disappointing, given how much the BEV market grew.
