> ... also average is just a bad metric for affordability It is definitely better than the outlier you provided as an example. I don't drive a Mercedes-Benz because, on average, any of their models are more expensive than the one I own. The Model Y numbers are misleading. If we consult the source material [0], it clearly states: > ... the Tesla Model Y was the most registered new passenger car of March and Q1 2023 Which is not the same as units sold, but units delivered, i.e. one cannot register a car before receiving it. Tesla has built up a massive order backlog until quite recently [1], so it wouldn't surprise me if these deliveries are for orders placed back in 2022.
