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.

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

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.

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.

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
