True, I seperate cars and trucks. As far as cars, it's the best selling passenger car/mid-size SUV

Tesla doesn't break out sales by model, but best estimate is 394,497 Model Y's:

I've seen some reports that Rav4 may have taken the top spot, but we'll know for sure when Tesla announces Q4

Here's Kelly Bluebook Q4 EV numbers:

I think the RAV slightly edged out Y in the United States.

AMIRZA786

Yeah, I saw those numbers from another report, RAV4: 434,943 and Model Y: 403,897

It's an estimate so not sure how accurate but imo the Model X eas / is a failure for Tesla.

I would disagree with that. Although it doesn't sell in high numbers, it still sales pretty decently for a 90k plus SUV. I was just looking at Mercedes individual sales numbers (non EV), and they are not much better. It's still profitable. Should they keep it around... probably not, most people would just buy a model Y, or apparently a Rivian 😂. They need to seriously upgrade it or replace it, but a refresh is definitely needed

The other thing I wanted to mention is look at cars like Corvette, Mustang GT, Demon etc. They sell in small numbers, but they are profitable. Only reason cars like the Demon are being discontinued is because regulations are making them harder to continue to produce and sell, otherwise they would live forever.

A better example is probably the Toyota Highlander. They only sold 31,019 vehicles. But I'm assuming it's a very profitable vehicle for Toyota, so although most Toyota buyers are choosing a RAV4, Toyota has no plans to discontinue it.

Model X is still highly profitable to Tesla. Someone who is looking for a more refined drive, air suspension etc and has $90k to spare would buy it over a Model Y. I would actually have bought an X, but the model Y gives me everything I need... plus I'm cheap as hell 🤣🤣

It looks like they sold almost twice as many model Y's as model 3's.

Is this because the model 3 costs a lot more money?

I know the Plaid and model X are big bucks from what members here posted.

AMIRZA786

It's because the Y is a midsize SUV. Same reason the RAV4 outsells the Camry. The Model 3 rwd is the cheapest Tesla
