Tesla also would not have survived without
government money.
And Tesla is one of two American car companies that have never gone bankrupt & taken government bailouts.
other car companies ... make and sell far
more cars every year than Tesla has made
since its founding.
Just looking at some data here [1][2] Tesla sold more model 3s in 2018 year-to-date than all of
1. Hyundai Accents in 2017
2. All Smartcars in any of recent years
3. Subaru Imprezas (excluding WRX/STI) in 2016
4. All Jaguars in recent years
5. Infiniti G-35s in 2013
6. Lexus ES in 2015
To have better sales than Tesla Model 3, you basically have to be a Nissan Sentra, Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, or some other extremely well-known line of cars from a reputable brand.
