Tesla's Model Y has been confirmed as the world's best-selling car for the third consecutive year, topping global sales in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The milestone is backed by data from JATO Dynamics, Statista, and Focus2Move, with cumulative sales exceeding 4 million units since the vehicle launched in 2020. What makes the achievement remarkable is that this is not just the best selling EV but the best selling car of any kind, beating every gas, hybrid, and electric vehicle on the planet. The streak continued even as Tesla's overall deliveries dipped to 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, showing that Model Y demand remained strong despite broader company headwinds.
