Elon Musk is an avid user of social networks, and especially of Twitter, where he regularly reveals information on Tesla models. According to Musk, the Tesla Model Y would be the world’s best-selling model in 2022 or 2023… For this claim to come true, the demand for the SUV will have to increase dramatically.

Tesla Model Y: more than 1.1 million copies per year?

Indeed, the best-selling model in the world is the Toyota Corolla, and last year alone, the Japanese manufacturer sold 1.1 million. A figure which should be up in 2021, Toyota having already recorded a rebound in sales following a rather gloomy year 2020, impacted by the coronavirus epidemic.
