The Tesla Model X has been a popular choice among electric vehicle (EV) enthusiasts, offering a blend of style, performance, and practicality. While the Model X has faced some competition in the EV market, it has continued to sell well, outpacing some of its rivals. In this article, we will explore three EVs that are selling worse than the Tesla Model X, as well as the reasons behind their lower sales figures.
The Tesla Model X revolutionized the EV world as one of the first useful electric SUVs. Although Tesla gave this SUV some unique features, such as the Gullwing rear doors, it stood for a few years as the only three-row electric SUV. Today, the Model X is being overshadowed by the onslaught of electric SUVs hitting the market. This, along with its extremely high price, might be why the Tesla Model X isn’t selling as well, but at least three EVs are selling worse than this Tesla.
The Sales Figures: Tesla Model X.
According to Good Car, Bad Car, the Tesla Model X has sold fewer than 15,000 models so far in 2023. While this may seem like a low number, it is important to note that the Model X is the lowest-selling Tesla model, and it is also the most expensive, with a starting MSRP of $79,990. Despite its high price point, the Model X has still managed to sell better than some of its competitors.
The Subaru Solterra
One EV that is selling worse than the Tesla Model X is the Subaru Solterra. The Solterra is a new electric SUV that has yet to catch on with buyers, despite its lower price point compared to the Model X[1]. The Solterra comes in three trim levels, with the most expensive Touring model starting at a much lower price than the Tesla Model X[1]. However, the Solterra has struggled to gain traction in the market, with low sales figures reported so far.

The Volvo C40
Another EV that is selling worse than the Tesla Model X is the 2023 Volvo C40. The C40 has only been driven off the lot in the hands of a new owner 6,090 times this year. Unlike Solterra, the C40 has the previous year sales figures for comparison, and it has not performed well in terms of sales. The C40’s high price point and limited availability may be contributing factors to its lower sales figures.
The Kia EV6
The Kia EV6 is another EV that is selling worse than the Tesla Model X. While the EV6 has received positive reviews for its performance and features, its sales figures have been lower than expected[1]. Sales of the EV6 have slowed progressively throughout the year, from a high of 3,156 in March to a low of 1,440 models in September[1]. The decline in sales could be due to the addition of new electric SUVs entering the market, as well as the EV6’s higher price point compared to some of its competitors.
Conclusion
Although the Tesla Model X is one of the most expensive electric SUVs offered, it has higher sales figures than the Subaru Solterra and Volvo C40 and is outpacing the Kia EV6 through September. Will any of these electric SUVs become sales leaders in this new market?
While the Tesla Model X may not be the highest-selling EV in the market, it has still managed to outpace some of its competitors. The Subaru Solterra, Volvo C40, and Kia EV6 are three EVs that are selling worse than the Model X, with lower sales figures reported so far. The reasons behind their lower sales figures may vary, from high price points to limited availability and competition from other electric SUVs. Despite these challenges, the EV market continues to grow, with new models and innovations driving the industry forward.
