Tesla became the best selling vehicle in Q1 of 2023


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, and when they do that at a reasonable price, I think it will be very difficult for the company to lose the number one spot which they are enjoying now.

Why the new Tesla FSD Beta is a game changer

Although I haven't personally used that yet, I have watched some YouTube videos about the Beta and must admit that I am very impressed with how much Tesla has improved the feature. Initially, when using the Full Self Driving mode, the driver had to step in at some point to take over the driving if the car was having trouble doing it on its own.  However, with better advancements, the car now typically doesn't need the driver's assistance in situations like these. I adore how, where there are no road markers, the FSD delineates the lanes on itself. For this new Beta, I believe it will be challenging for any other vehicle manufacturer to catch up to Elon Musk and his team at Tesla because they are really doing incredible work with their FSD.

Here is why it wont be easy to steal a Tesla

Spoiler alert: you can't steal one if you're thinking about it! If you start trying to get into the car, one of the many cameras around it will start capturing you. If you manage to get inside, the interior camera will still record your face, and it will be hard to put the car in drive so that it moves along with you. Okay, so let's say you were successful in stealing the car in some way and had already started driving away. In that case, there are many ways the owner of the car could use the app to thwart you. First, he can switch the Tesla into valet mode, which will significantly slow you down and even give you less control. He still has control over the car's stereo, which he can turn up to the maximum volume if he wants to play pranks on you. Just hope he doesn't choose any music that will make you want to throw up.  He could also turn the AC up to full fan speed to make driving extremely uncomfortable for you. If the car is set on "pin to drive," you...

Reasons why Tesla is the safest vehicle ever manufactured

In truth, Teslas are among the safest cars ever produced. Elon Musk also said this at the most recent shareholder meeting. Their vehicles have repeatedly shown to be extremely safe when put to the test. OK, these are the numbers; The Model Y passed the most recent and rigorous safety test administered by Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program) with a score of roughly 92%, beating out the closest competitor's 82%. When the model 3 was also subjected to a frontal offset test, it performed exceptionally well. During this test, which was also conducted by Euro NCAP, the lack of an engine in the front region of the car let the vehicle's crumple zone absorb all the impact during a collision, leaving the occupants unharmed. When further tests like those for the vehicle's roof strength, head restraints, and autonomous driving assistance systems were conducted, the model 3 once again got top overall scores. In a rollover test, the Model X stunned many engineers since it did ...
