  So for a specific time period, it was considered Number 2: > The EV doubled US registrations in January-April 2023 But it lost ground to end up at Number 5 for all of 2023. You can't really say it "is" the second best selling vehicle, though you can say it briefly "was." It may be the way Tesla reports their sales. It looks like they were at 127k for Q1, while the Chevrolet Silverado sold 126k in that time period. But over the course of 2023, the Silverado sold 543k, while the Model Y sold 386k. Not sure when the big slowdown was for the Model Y.

    You're right, the article I linked is not covering all of 2023 which I did not realize. Give it another quarter or two :)

      Perhaps if growth increases enough. It appears that insideEVs article used 4 months of Tesla sales to represent a quarter, which is misleading. If we look at monthly figures, it's around 100k per quarter now, which is in line with the 385k they sold in 2023. And that explains why it seemed like they were number 2 when they were actually trailing several models. Currently it peaked in April (and repeated the same number in June) but is selling around 30-31k Model Y each month in the U.S. There's no current sign of acceleration. https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-model-y-sales-figures/ https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/tesla-model-y-sales-figures/ https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2023-us-vehicle-sales-figures-by-model/ https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2023-us-vehicle-sales-figures-...
