Up to August, 2019 the Leaf has sold 46,864 units making it the fourth best selling battery electric in 2019. That's twice as many as the Tesla Model X. The Tesla Model S didn't make the list. Even the Volkswagen e-Golf has outsold the Model S so far this year. Set that against the reality that Toyota sold over 10 million cars in 2018. Volkswagen also sold over 10 million cars in 2018. 86 million cars from all brands in total. Electric cars were only 1.26 million of that total: https://www.jato.com/global-car-market-remains-stable-during-2018-as-continuous-demand-for-suvs-offsets-decline-in-sales-of-compact-cars-and-mpvs/ https://www.jato.com/global-car-market-remains-stable-during... Battery electrics are a small segment of the market. They are niche cars.
