Tesla Model Y is the best-selling vehicle in the world, thrashing the likes of Toyota, Ford, and VW in the first quarter of 2023, and this has never happened before. The Model Y was previously wallowing in the 9th position back in 2022 but to the surprise of many, jumped to the number one position, shocking many experts. This is the first time a fully electric vehicle took this position, and it is a clear indication that consumers are now doing their homework and are realizing that the Model Y is the best all-round car for the price and very reliable, with the base model having 283 miles of range, an acceleration of 0–100km/h in just 6.9 seconds, a spacious cabin big enough to set up a mini playground for kids, loads of storage space and a software interface that is years and years ahead of their closest competitor. The company is rumored to have sold about 267,171 units worldwide, thus seeing about a 91% increase which I think is mind-blowing. Tesla is yet to enter other territories,
Elon Musk never misses an opportunity to compliment the Tesla FSD team; in my opinion, they are actually doing an excellent job. I'm impressed by how they've evolved and improved over time. I had an experience when using the Full Self Driving mode one day, and it left me speechless. I was on my way to work one morning using the FSD, and I came across a situation where there were cars parked on both sides of the road, and the space between them was very little. My initial assumption was that the car wouldn't be able to get out of that spot, but to my astonishment, it did, and it did it flawlessly. As it passed through, the car folded its side mirrors with ease. As discussed here, the Full Self-Driving mode on Tesla vehicles is truly revolutionary. Most human drivers would have found this extremely challenging and would have needed the assistance of pedestrians to help guide them. Indeed, Tesla is doing amazing work that is enviable to all other automakers.
