Tesla has numerous latest awards for its trophy cabinet after being named the winner in 7 different categories in S&P Global Mobility’s twenty seventh annual Automotive Loyalty Awards on Monday. The most important win was in ‘Overall Loyalty to Make,” with Tesla dethroning Ford for the primary time in 12 years.
In keeping with S&P Global Mobility, which analyzed 11.7 million latest retail vehicle registrations within the U.S. during 2022, loyalty is set when a household that owns a brand new vehicle then acquires one other latest vehicle of the identical make, model or manufacturer. That latest purchase could either be a substitute vehicle, or an addition to the automobile that’s already owned.
For the 2022 edition Tesla won five different manufacturer and make loyalty awards from S&P, including Overall Loyalty to Make, Ethnic Loyalty to Make, Most Improved Make Loyalty, Highest Conquest Percentage, and Alternative Powertrain Loyalty to Make.

Most notable nonetheless was the primary of those awards, with Tesla being name the winner within the Overall Loyalty to Make category. This is important since it ended Ford’s 12 12 months run in the highest spot, in line with the Detroit Free Press. S&P only published the winners of every category, or the info behind each, so we don’t know by how much Tesla beat Ford, or if Ford slipped further than second place in 2022.
