By the end of the year Toyota had regained the crown. Then the diesel-gate crisis hit and VW&#8217;s sales came crashing down. By some\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/2015\/12\/volkswagen-us-sales-plummet-25-as-dieselgate-rolls-on\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">estimates<\/a>, numbers are off by nearly 25%. Their U.S. dealers are up in arms, and just yesterday a group which owns three VW dealerships\u00a0filed a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.autonews.com\/article\/20160406\/RETAIL07\/160409844\/vw-dealer-defies-council-sues-factory-for-damages-from-diesel-scandal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">lawsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the disruption happening at Volkswagen is a self-inflicted wound. But, \u00a0their management team was either ignorant of the potential for problems, or was complicit in the scandal. Either way, it&#8217;s a situation which\u00a0could destroy the company.<\/p>\n<p>In the same KPMG survey, auto executives were asked which long-term strategies were highest on their agendas. Plug-in electric vehicles were low on the list.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"center aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/mpr\/mpr\/shrinknp_800_800\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAU5AAAAJDUyMmQzMjQ1LTA2OTYtNDRjOC05NTA3LTBmMzBiNzQ2YjI2ZA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"402\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In fact, during the same survey in 2013, 38% of auto executives said &#8220;battery electric mobility&#8221; was a priority. By 2015 the number\u00a0had\u00a0<strong>dropped<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>to 9%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, in 2015 the Tesla Model S became the number one selling nameplate in the U.S. luxury car market, topping Mercedes, BMW and Audi.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"center alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/media.licdn.com\/mpr\/mpr\/shrinknp_800_800\/AAEAAQAAAAAAAAZpAAAAJDIyMWE3NzkzLTRjMmUtNDgwOS04Yzc1LWYzNDc4ZGNkYjU2Mg.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"243\" \/>\u00a0That was before Tesla&#8217;s announcement of the Model 3. With over 300,000 pre-order reservations and a price tag of $35-$50,000, Tesla&#8217;s new model is poised to become one of the world&#8217;s top selling cars, competing not only with luxury brands, but also mainstream nameplates\u00a0like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, big questions remain about Tesla&#8217;s ability to deliver all of those vehicles, and whether the car will perform as advertised. But assuming they can (and it does), they will do so without the traditional dealer network other auto makers employ.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll also leverage\u00a0other innovations that weren&#8217;t high on auto exec&#8217;s radar, like connected car technologies and self-driving, autonomous vehicles (Tesla&#8217;s Autopilot system will come standard on every Model 3.)<\/p>\n<p>It will be very interesting to see the results of KPMG&#8217;s surveys in 2016 and beyond. But one thing seems certain.
