Yes they do. Not sure what numbers you're looking at to say otherwise.

      In the link above they are at ~200k units vs 36k for the second place (Chevrolet). Nobody said “world”, and even there they are tied up with BYD which has it easy with a giant billion-people closed market and local manufacturing. What are you trying to prove?

    Your first link says: > Looking purely at BEV sales (according to data from EV-Volumes), Tesla leads the way That first chart that confirms your beliefs measures both EV and Hybrid. I seriously doubt anyone is conflating those two things here. Additionally, considering both EV and Hybrid, the difference between Tesla and BYD is less than one percent. Your arguments would be much more persuasive if you weren't so clearly biased...
