Don't tell that to @Splendid Systems, he will get heart attack right in front of his computer 🤣 The other day he was trying to convince everyone that in Australia there is a 5 years waiting time for Toyota hybrid cars 🤣🤣🤣

@Steveabbott Pretty big caveat though. Is the data they have used truly reprepresentative of "global" sales of any make/model? I don't think so.Tesla Model Y becomes world's best-selling car - report

"The caveat here is this reporting is based on JATO data for 53 markets, official data/forecasts for 31 other markets, and estimates for the rest of the world.
Given the narrow gap between the Model Y and Corolla and the latter’s greater popularity in developing markets, it’s possible the Corolla may still be in pole position."
If only the rest of the world could buy the Song Plus.

All the same, if that were the top seller, it'd still be a BEV at the top.

At the current rate, the Model Y should exceed Corolla sales for 2023.
We'll see if they can sustain sales for the Model Y, which is doubtful.
Tesla has shown its first signs of decline in Europe. Their sales went down despite larger inventories. Q1 2023 sales were below Q4 2022.
Europe sales: • 94,819 in Q4 2022 • 93,784 in Q1 2023
Inventory is building early in Q2 suggesting a decline in sales and overproduction. Tesla would typically start a quarter with zero inventories, but not this quarter, suggesting that demand is not following.
This is also a problem when you start getting in the news with price cuts. Everyone in the market for a Tesla is now waiting for the next price cut.

Another thing I would like to point out is an apparent collapse of Tesla BEV market share in European markets, suggesting increasing fragmentation in the market.
