    The may have the best selling single model in the world by a small amount, but that one model is around 2/3 of their total sales.

    Most of the other car companies have less skewed distribution. For example in the US Toyota's split is around 22% RAV4, 15% Camry, 12% Tacoma, 12% Corolla, and 8% Highlander.

    It's harder to find a breakdown by model for worldwide Toyota sales other than RAV4 and Corolla are close.

    As a result many car companies sell more cars per year than Tesla. Tesla are around #14 worldwide if you count Hyundai and Kia separately and do the same for the brands in the Stellantis group. If you instead count Hyundai and Kia as one and count Stellantis as one, Tesla is also #14. That's because Hyundai and Kia both outsell them so counting them as one would moves Tesla up, but each Stellantis brand is below Tesla but combined are above it, so combining them moves Tesla down.

    Amazing that this guy can kill hundreds of thousands of people by abruptly shuttering USAID and then continue on shilling his cars like nothing happened.

    The real “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is really just this—what used to be called demagoguery. It often works—for a little while. But it always ends in sad, destructive, painful ways.
