I mean the most sold car is the "Ford F-Series" and they do have some electric cars so does that count?

@grofigaszadosijv This question is about sold-**out** car models. (And the Ford F-Series is just leading in the US) I assume the question is about worldwide sales. However, there are no clear resolution criteria under this question and which data will be used to answer this question. The creator doesn't seem to be very active, still didn't correct the mistake in this question (https://manifold.markets/RastyAbdulrahman/will-the-most-sold-card-model-in-20) which I think you're referirng to. However, my advice would be to sell your shares and call it a day.

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).
