@SirCryptomind I think question was clearly related to
https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-model-y-may-become-the-best-selling-car-of-any-kind-in-2022-or-2023#google_vignette

and therefore should be about worldwide sales

https://digitalassets.tesla.com/tesla-contents/image/upload/IR/TSLA-Q4-2023-Update.pdf
includes
"In 2023, we delivered over 1.2 million Model Ys, making it the best-selling vehicle, of any kind, globally."
So I think it should be re-resolved yes.

predictedYES

Model Y sold 1225000 in the year

@ChristopherRandles Oh so you are going off of global sales?

predictedYES

@SirCryptomind I was because there was no indication that it was country specific just "most sold" so I think it would be odd to add a country specificity when there was no indication of that in the question.

predictedYES

@SirCryptomind That is US sales only I think

Did you mean to have card in the title or car?

The most sold car model will not be electric vehicles in 2023 and this expectation could be continuous. The EV can become the bestselling car over a period of time, but what remains is what people are used to or what they rely on the most in terms of brand, logo, quality, sustainability, and comfortability. According to (Weatherbed, 2023), Tesla Model Y became the bestselling car during the first quarter of this year.

It marked the highest number of purchases in comparison with Corolla and RAV4 (Weatherbed, 2023). We can say that EV is competing the other manufacturers, but it may not ensure taking the first place of the most sold cars during 2023. The company of Tesla hasn’t reported a higher revenue than Toyota, Volkswagen, and ford. And in terms of logo, Tesla is not among the top ten most popular car models and obviously not the biggest manufacturer of car around the world (Weatherbed, 2023). It was predicted by Musk that Tesla will remain the bestselling car in 2022, but it did not happen and it was ranked in the third place, instead, SUV was ranked the bestselling model of car in both U.S. and Europe (Weatherbed, 2023).
