It's not.
Is Tesla Model Y the World’s Best-Selling Car? Nope, Not Even Close
But Tesla’s revenues and profits are up, and the Cybertruck and Robotaxi are still on for debuts this year.

Right. Even some Tesla hating sites, like Car and Driver agree that the MY is the best selling car in the world.
Outside of the backseat, which is always hidden for whatever reason, we've seen the entire front and it hasn't changed.
Tesla employees struggle with tech - can't upload to the interweb?
But it is.
That corolla nonsense was debunked repeatedly soon after it came out (over a month ago)-- even the comments on YOUR link is people mostly pointing this out....
He provides no source in the story other than "I asked toyota- trust me bro!" but no actual citation given and it doesn't line up with Corolla #s reported in any other source, anywhere, ever. Not by a factor of like 3x for quarterly sales.
We can corroborate the fact his 740k Corollas sold in Q1 is insane BS looking at things like this:
Toyota Retains Global Sales Crown, Has 3 Models in Top 5
Toyota managed to hold on to its global sales crown in 2022 with nearly 10.45 million vehicles sold around the world. This includes luxury brand Lexus , as well as Toyota subsidiaries Daihatsu and Hino. The Japanese juggernaut easily trumped runner-up Volkswagen AG , whose 8.3 million units sold...
2022 entire year Corolla sales were 1.12 million.
But he claims they just sold about 2/3rds of that number in JUST Q1.
Nonsense. That would mean they'd be on track to sell about 3 million corollas in 2023. Which is almost triple the # they sold last year-- this would be especially weird since every story about corolla mentions DECLINING sales (also they don't physically have the factories to MAKE 3 million of them- let alone 740k of them in ONE quarter).
Further-
Sales, Production, and Export Results for March 2023 | Sales, Production, and Export Results | Profile | Company | Toyota Motor Corporation Official Global Website
Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces its sales, production, and export results for March 2023 as well as the cumulative total from January to March 2023 , and the fiscal year from April1, 2022 to March 31, 2023, including those for subsidiaries Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. and Hino Motors, Ltd.global.toyota
This shows Toyotas ENTIRE production of ALL vehicles in a single month was just under 900k, sales slightly over 900k.
From the first link we know they sell roughly 225k Rav4s a quarter, and roughly 170k Camrys per quarter.
From the 2022 data it SHOULD be roughly 280k if you pretend sales aren't declining for the corolla (which they are so likely more like 240-250k). Not 740k. In fact let's check this math further-
For 740k corollas in one quarter to be right we'd have to believe like 1 in every 3.7 vehicles Toyota sells is a Corolla- and that it outsells any other Toyota vehicle almost 4:1.
That's hilariously bad math even for TSLAQ my dude.
You and I are more alike than you think! We don’t want a CT for towing or off-road activity.. we want the CT for its ability to carry the cargo! I for one have been really wanting a Tesla with air suspension. That is a big selling point for me more than anything. The coil springs in the Y don’t provide a very smooth ride. I had a Model X loaner for a few days a while back and man was it an amazing experience. The model X specific features were cool and all (falcon wing doors, auto opening driver/passenger doors, front glass that goes all the way up and over etc), but the most stand out feature for my wife and I was the quality of the ride with the air suspension. It was extremely noticeable how bad my model Y feels after driving the X.
I don’t have any issues with trucks. Never been super for or against them. Trucks are a common vehicle in my line of work and I completely understand why people love them. It’s interesting to note though, I never considered a truck until the CT, Rivian R1T, and Ford F-150 Lightning became a reality. The EV aspect is what has me interested. ICE trucks have never held my interest.
Quite costly indeed. I don’t think the CT will be cheap once the price/specs are released. I honestly think that it’s going to be more in line with Model S/X prices than 3/Y. Stainless steel, air suspension etc.. yeah, this is going to be an $80k (minimum) vehicle. Especially when you consider the current market and R1T/Lightning prices… Lots of people expecting a $50k CT are going to be very upset in the coming weeks.
It's a rumor, it said mid to upper 70s. Nothing trustworthy, either.
