https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-3-market-share-claims-are-flawed-2018-6 https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-model-3-market-share-c... Tesla has a history of drawing misleading market share graphs by comparing its cars against cars that reasonably would be considered to be in different market segments. You would have to be pretty charitable to call the model 3 a mid-sized sedan, for example.

That's a good point. Putting the 3 against the 5 series and E-Class is not really fair to MB and BMW. The 3 should be going against the C-Class and the 3-series, and there it has the highest share, but not 50%.

  The Model 3 is up against the 3 Series and the C-Class.

The Model 3 is being categorised as a mid-size sedan by pretty much everyone. What is misleading is neglecting some other premium mid size sedans from the market [1] such as the Acura TLX and the Inifinit Q50. On top of that the premium mid size sedan market is only about 3% (by volume) of the total US auto industry so 50% market share in that category is still only 1.5% of the total market.
