On January 1, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that Model Y has been the global sales champion for the third year in a row. However, the American automobile website Electrek raised serious questions about this and believes that Model Y sales are likely to drop to third place. Musk released positive news on X as the year 2025 comes to an end. He congratulated the Tesla team, claiming that the Model Y has been the best-selling car in the world for the third year in a row. Electrek believes that Musk's statement is a fantastic marketing slogan. If it's 2023, that's undisputed. The Model Y made history that year, becoming the first electric car to top the global sales list. To commemorate this achievement, Electrek named the Model Y “Electrek Model of the Year.” However, by 2024, there is already controversy over whether the Model Y will still be the top seller. The Model Y is almost on a par with the Toyota RAV4 in terms of statistics. According to data from the automotive research company JATO Dynamics, the Model Y lost to the Toyota RAV4 by a slight disadvantage of 2,000 cars. According to several independent analysts' tracking data for the first three quarters of this year and Tesla's weak sales forecast for the fourth quarter, the Model Y is likely to have fallen to the third place in global sales. Based on the most reliable data available for the first three quarters of this year and predictions for the fourth quarter, the top three global sales rankings are as follows: No. 1: Toyota RAV4. Annual sales are expected to be around 1.2 million units, an increase of about 0.6% over the previous year. 2nd place: Toyota Corolla. Annual sales are expected to be around 1.08 million units, a year-on-year decrease of about 8.1%. 3rd place: Tesla Model Y. Annual sales are expected to be around 1.03 million units, down about 12.7% year over year.
