In 2023, the Tesla Model Y achieved a milestone by becoming the world’s best-selling car, marking the first time an electric vehicle (EV) has accomplished this.
With 772,364 units sold globally, it surpassed the Toyota Corolla. This success is attributed to Tesla’s increasing sales globally and significant price cuts, making the Model Y more accessible.
Recall in 2022, the Model Y was the best-selling vehicle in Europe and California, the fourth best-selling in China despite China’s different tastes and model availability compared to the rest of the world, and was on the US top ten list but significantly behind several trucks and SUVs. These performances made it the third-best-selling car worldwide.
Buying an electric car is all about driving range, and the Long Range and Performance models offer 310 and 285 miles of range, respectively. We’d go with the Long Range, which maximizes driving range while offering plenty of performance. There are a few ways to customize your Model Y and only a handful of exterior colours to choose from most of which cost extra.
