> Wasn't the Tesla Model Y the best selling car in America last year?

No, if you exclude pickups but include SUVs (have to do the latter for the Model Y to even qualify), the Toyota RAV4 was; other cars ahead of the model Y included the Toyota Camry and Honda CR-V.

True, last year it wasn’t but this year it was the best selling vehicle of any type, EV or not, including trucks.

This year isn't over. The story is about Q1, not the year.

Model Y sales were higher Q2 & Q3 than Q1. So while it is theoretically possible that it won't be the bestselling car in 2023, it's highly unlikely.
