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.

Elon Musk and his success story

According to Elon Musk, he did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth as always reported by the media; in fact, he grew up in a lower, transitioning to an upper-middle-income situation, and did not have a happy childhood. He revealed this on Twitter while responding to a tweet by a woman named Deborah, who wrote,‘’ Musk came to the US with no money but graduated with over $100K in debt’’ She continued, ‘’Even having a wealthy family, a student can have a lot of financial difficulties.’’ Musk also claimed that reports that his father owned an emerald mine in Zambia were lies; he wrote, ‘’Regarding the so-called 'emerald mine,' there is no objective evidence whatsoever that this mine ever existed. He told me that he owned a share in a mine in Zambia, and I believed him for a while, but nobody has ever seen the mine, nor are there any records of its existence.‘’ According to Elon, his father rather owned an electrical/mechanical engineering company for 25 to 30 years but was...

How the impromptu interview between Elon Musk and the BBC backfired

The whole thing was exciting to watch! I loved every bit of it. The BBC journalist came to the interview prepared to corner Elon Musk, but he was rather the one cornered and was finding it so hard to even breathe at a certain point during the interview. While finding it very challenging to single out just one instance of such misinformation or hate speech on the social media platform, the BBC journalist accused Elon of allowing it to be spread on Twitter. It was incredibly entertaining to see him try to come up with an explanation. Is it the BBC that decides what misinformation is? Because the BBC has occasionally published false information, Elon Musk questioned. Elon is a BEAST!
