  "Over three million Pintos were produced over its ten-year production run, outproducing the combined totals of its domestic rivals, the Chevrolet Vega and the AMC Gremlin."

    Domestic rivals? Model Y outsold every other vehicle globally. And it will end as the best-selling vehicle globally in 2023... only 3 years after its launch.

  keep seeing that stat and wonder 1. What it would look like if governments weren’t literally paying people thousands to buy these cars 2. What it would look like if you counted all of the models on the same platform for other manufacturers. If you compare the Model Y to the Corolla it outsells it. If you compare the Model Y to every car that is built on a Toyota B chassis (Corolla chassis) it blows Tesla out of the water. The B chassis alone has 10 different models, 9 of which aren’t Corollas. In other words, is a “JPN taxi” model that looks like a Corolla and has the same parts a as a Corolla not a Corolla?
