I know your comment is tongue-in-cheek but ha! I don't know about that. The Prius, even if it's just a hybrid, probably led to more aggregate fuel/carbon emission savings than every (non-tesla/chinese manufacturers) EV model combined. "Old school" manufacturers like BMW and VW may look like they are doing better because of the dozens of models they've released but the actual sales numbers are so tiny that their impact is basically 0. The Prius on the other hand was a massive sales success, and it really was what made hybrids a thing.

The US is the smallest and slowest growing of the big three EV markets. China and Europe being the other two. Please find year to date (2021) EV sales by car group here: https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL/Groups/Year/2021 https://eu-evs.com/bestSellers/ALL/Groups/Year/2021 Volkswagen is outselling Tesla.

  Looking at the chart, VW sold 173.5k in the Groups column. Adding the Volkswagen entries in the Model column gets to about 102k. Is the left column all cars? Or includes hybrids? Adding the Models, VW is slightly ahead at about 102k vs about 95k for Tesla.
