ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Tesla's near-record sales performance in Australia is a clear indication that electric vehicles are gaining traction in the market, and dealers should be prepared to respond to this shift in consumer demand

What it means for the order bank

The fact that Tesla is just 362 deliveries away from breaking its sales record suggests that the company has a strong order bank, which is likely to continue driving sales in the coming months

This has significant implications for competitors, who will need to review their own ordering and stock management processes to remain competitive

Competitor response

The slowdown in October sales may provide an opportunity for competitors to gain ground, but they will need to act quickly to capitalize on this

Taking action

One decisive action that dealers could take this week is to review their own electric vehicle offerings and ensure they have a robust ordering and stock management process in place to meet growing demand
