Okay, sure, for one year. But "for year 2025" was not a qualification the grandparent poster made.

> for year 2025" was not a qualification the grandparent poster made.

I interpreted the comment to mean that Tesla model Y is currently the most widely sold car in the world, not historically. model y is less than 10 years old.

i think it shows that tesla is actually able to ship cars at a high volume, which was the point of the thread.

It’s been three years in a row: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/tesla-mode...

"for the last three years" was another strong qualification the grandparent post did not make.

[iknowstuff]

no you're right sorry it's not up to your standards of selling as many cumulative units as cars that have been sold longer than most readers of this website have been alive

[orwin]

I mean, just don't lie and make outlandish and idiotic claim then. If the claim was "most unit sold since 2020", no one would've bat an eye.

[SideburnsOfDoom]

Well, I raised an eyebrow at the claim that "The Toyota RAV4 is a very popular vehicle in terms of units sold worldwide over the last few years" as it just does not match what I see on the roads locally on a daily basis.

(There are tons of RAVs as yellow taxis in NYC though. That's the only place that I've seen them swarm)

But it is a defensible claim, and apparently globally it's true, even if locally it is not.

[iknowstuff]

Its literally the best selling car these days and it’s a well known fact. That you didnt know speaks to your bubble

[SideburnsOfDoom]

Don't knock people for not knowing stuff. We can always look it up and learn, and that's a good thing. No-one lives outside of a "bubble".

But in order to do so, the claim has to be presented in a coherent way, otherwise you'll check something else, such as here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48005822
