"High volume"? Coming from Tesla, I'll believe it after they actually ship a high volume of those units.

"High volume"?
Coming from Tesla, I'll believe it after they actually ship a high volume of those units.
- doctorwho42 5mo ago>0 is a high volume for something that was supposed to start rolling off the production line back in 2019....
- nubinetwork 5mo agoUsually I'd say better late than never, but you have to wonder why anyone would buy anything from tesla because of the promises and delays...
- ben_w 5mo agoPersonally I'm surprised there's enough such people to keep the share price where it is and not shift one or two decimal places.

- rayiner 5mo agoThe Model Y is neck-and-neck with the Toyota RAV4 as the most widely sold car model in the world.
- adrian_b 5mo agoWhenever such claims were made, it was correctly pointed that Tesla makes very few models, so their sales per model may be higher than for other vendors even when the total number of sold cars is higher for their competitors, where the sales are distributed over many models. There are Chinese vendors who sell more electric cars than Tesla.
- mgoetzke 5mo agoWhich ones ?
- tomjakubowski 5mo agoBYD and Geely both clear Tesla in electric vehicles sold. BYD sells more than double Tesla. VW isn't Chinese but they are right on Tesla's heels now. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/top-electric-vehicle-manufacturers/ https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/top-electric-vehicle-man...
- SapporoChris 5mo agoI am not convinced this is true. But perhaps you are using different criteria than this source. For example the Toyota Corolla has sold 50 million, the Model Y, slightly over 2 million. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_automobiles#World's_bestsellers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_automobil...
- rayiner 5mo agoThe Corolla has been on sale since 1966. The Model Y has only been on sale since 2020. Annually, the Model Y outsells the Corolla. https://www.accio.com/business/corolla-best-selling-car-in-the-world https://www.accio.com/business/corolla-best-selling-car-in-t...
- SideburnsOfDoom 5mo ago> Toyota RAV4, the most widely sold car model in the world. Nope. Widely sold cars are the likes of e.g Toyota Corolla, VW Golf, Honda Civic, Ford Fiesta, Toyota Camry and Hilux. The other reply gives the link. The RAV4 isn't ones of these.
- rayiner 5mo agoOut of those, only the Camry and the Corolla even make the top 10: https://www.statista.com/statistics/239229/most-sold-car-models-worldwide/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/239229/most-sold-car-mod...
- SideburnsOfDoom 5mo agoAnd as the other commenter has already pointed out, you didn't say "for year 2025" only. That said, I'm surprised that the RAV4 is that popular, in the year 2025.
- rayiner 5mo agoWhy do you think the ranking changes that much from year to year? Model Y had the top spot 3 years in a row since 2020.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5mo ago> Why do you think the ranking changes that much from year to year? I did not say that. Why do you think that I did say that? (I'm surprised that the RAV was #1 in 2023-24 too. I don't see many or even any around here. But even 3 years clearly isn't "all time").
- orwin 5mo agoI don't believe you. Can we have some numbers?

- SapporoChris 5mo agoOkay, sure, for one year. But "for year 2025" was not a qualification the grandparent poster made.
- rayiner 5mo agoIt’s been three years in a row: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/tesla-model-y-emerges-worlds-100109308.html https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/tesla-mode...
- SideburnsOfDoom 5mo ago"for the last three years" was another strong qualification the grandparent post did not make.
- iknowstuff 5mo agono you're right sorry it's not up to your standards of selling as many cumulative units as cars that have been sold longer than most readers of this website have been alive
- orwin 5mo agoI mean, just don't lie and make outlandish and idiotic claim then. If the claim was "most unit sold since 2020", no one would've bat an eye.
