Interesting how the market segment has been decimated by Tesla.
It seems the Germans are in complete denial. It's staggering to see how not a single competing vehicle managed to increase its market share.

Mercedes is apparently finally working on a smaller EV the size of the C Class to compete with the Model 3 and it is expected to be out in about 2-3 years. However they will not have a larger EV in the segment of the S Class and the Model S for another 4-5 years. They kept telling themselves customers were not ready for a premium long range Ev when it turns out only Mercedes was not ready for such a vehicle.
