Tesla Model Y's sales success is 'slap in the face' for rivals

The Tesla Model Y is so superior to European rivals that its sales success should not come as a surprise. VW and other traditional automakers need to do better.

Elon Musk to get the last laugh as ultra-ambitious Tesla Model Y prediction comes true

Elon Musk is getting the last laugh as his ultra-ambitious prediction about the Tesla Model Y becoming the best-selling car...

Elon Musk is getting the last laugh as his ultra-ambitious prediction about the Tesla Model Y becoming the best-selling car in the world has come true.

People often like to poke fun at Tesla CEO Elon Musk for his predictions that didn’t turn out to be true, and rightfully so, especially for things like his self-driving timeline. But we also have to give credit where credit is due.

Before Tesla ever brought the Model Y to market in 2020, Musk made some bold predictions about how popular the vehicle would become. Musk said that he anticipated Model Y demand would be about twice as high as the demand for the Model 3, which was already the best-selling electric car at the time.

Back in 2016, the CEO estimated the demand for the Model Y between 500,000 and 1,000,000 units per year. That was four years before the vehicle was even released. Musk went so far as to predict that the Model Y would become the best-selling car globally.

Last year, Tesla announced that the electric SUV was on track to catch up to the Toyota Corolla, which has around 1,150,000 sales per year.

With Tesla’s earnings coming tomorrow, we expect the automaker to give an update on that goal. Early numbers for Q1 2023 indicate that the Tesla Model Y is on track to be the best-selling car this year.

Data coming from China indicates that the Model Y took the top spot in China in the first quarter – beating the BYD Song Plus, a PHEV, and VW and Nissan’s best-selling ICE cars. Considering China is the biggest auto market in the world, it bodes well for Tesla.

Furthermore, in the US, the world’s second-biggest auto market, early registration data shows that Model Y is leading for passenger cars, ahead of the Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue – though the final data is not in yet.

Data coming from Europe also shows Tesla’s electric SUV leading in several markets, thanks to the ramp-up to 5,000 units per week at Gigafactory Berlin.

Across the four factories that produce the Tesla Model Y, the automaker is expected to achieve approximately 1.5 million units in annual production capacity.

Between that production capacity, the price cuts to the Model Y earlier this year, and the performance in Q1, it looks like Tesla is on track to have the best-selling passenger car in the world.

He is a sham.

Any success he has is almost solely due to having competent people working for him.

When he runs things himself he has a tendency of failing.

Case in point, Twitter/X.

Well then he apparently is a rare person on the planet who can find such competent people. Nobody else seems to have been able to pull off building a tiny car company into a force to be reckoned with so quickly.

Or a space company with reusable rockets.

..and the list goes on.

Tesla was already on its way to success due to competent management before Elon bought the company.

Same thing with SpaceX.

He isn't the cause of success, he simply buys already successful companies.

He tried to prove he was a genius by running twitter himself, after he built up hype and before people found out he's a moron. He fired all the competent people at twitter, made stupid decisions, first half the staff who were vital, refused to pay rent, refused to honour employment contracts and pay severance, allowed fascists to take over a huge chunk of twitter, allowed bots to run rampant, allowed a literal pedophile to come back on the platform, rebranded to X which got his site banned in 1 country and the Apple's App store, and is now suing his own lawyers because he didn't actually wanna buy twitter but his own stupidity caused him to and is blaming them because they had no choice but to force him to honor his contract.

The idiot almost ran Tesla into the ground as well by automating everything at one point (causing massive QC and delay issues) and only reversing course when management begged him to stop, and shareholders threatened to remove him.

Elon is a rich idiot.

Tesla incorporated in 2003 and Elon Musk in February 2004 became their largest shareholder when there was only a handful of people in the company.

Apparently with all the shrewd investors and billionaires in California he was the only one smart enough to make such an investment.

Billionaires make countless investments in countless companies, Elon Musk isn't unique in this regard.

Every successful billion dollar company in the US has a billionaire backing it. Tesla (just like Elon) isn't unique in this regard either.

Like I said, Elon isn't smart, he's just stupidly rich.

Seems to me if more people were like Elon Musk there'd be a lot more rich people in the world...I guess that's better than more poor people. So he's doing something better than the millions of poor people on this planet. Somehow he made close to the top in terms of wealth in a span of only a few years..and there's how many billions of people on this planet that he managed to pass?

Elon was born rich, his father through his own admission owned an emerald mine which used slave labor. What are you talking about?

He's a rich man who got richer. He had money to throw around. Poor people don't have that luxury.

He didn't do anything expect use his vast wealth to buy a successful company, which other rich people do too all the time.

Listen, you can't just say something like this and not expect push back.

I like you, so I'm trying to be very polite here, so when I say that you really need to read up on Elon Musk and think things through, I'm not saying it out of malice or to insult you, but rather because I genuinely think you're mistaken here.

I'm sure he did not grow up in some dirt poor family however it seems the Emerald mine story just gets bigger and bigger

What We Know About Elon Musk and the Emerald Mine Rumor

A story about Musk's father once owning an emerald mine evolved into a larger rumor that had no evidence to support its central claim.

What this really sounds like is somebody offered Elon Musk's father a share in a African Emerald mine at a cheap price because they knew Russia was about to release gem quality synthetic emeralds.

The father said the mine only made money for 5 years and then everything dried up.

And? According to your own source it made him a multimillionaire, with this mine in particular making him half a million, and he had other sources as well. Look at the the end of your article.

Yes, I read the entire thing.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with anything.

The point is that he was born and raised into wealth. They were already a wealthy family before the emerald mine, and they got even richer after it.

Again, all according to your own source.

Him being this poor kid is a myth who lived with his poor family is a myth.

He was a rich kid who git richer. His father funded almost all of his early ventures.

Anybody relying on selling $30K+ gasoline cars to stay profitable are dead.

I would say anybody relying on selling gasoline cars is dead. Gasoline is only going to be relevant for heavy equipment such as tractors from agriculture, excavators and maybe trucks. Even that is not assured because Telsa electric Semi is looking very good and forcing Mercedes to come up with their own electric semi. We may see transition to electric tractors, excavators and everything in the future, I give it up to 2035 max.
