Tesla Model 3 is about to occupy the world's best-selling electric car list for the third consecutive year. In 2018 and 2019, this model also occupies the top position of Volkswagen's electric car bestseller list. In addition to the dominance of Model 3, Tesla's prediction of Model Y is about to become a reality. The company's CEO Elon Musk has said that he believes that Model Y will eventually surpass Model 3 in popularity. Although this car is only produced in Fremont, California, its sales in October have surpassed the Volkswagen ID.3 and entered the top three. According to data from the EV Sales Blog, Model Y delivered 10602 vehicles in October, while ID.3 was 10584 vehicles. Model Y and ID.3 belong to different market segments, the former is a crossover, and ID.3 is a hatchback.
Unfortunately, due to some software issues with ID.3, Volkswagen's data may be affected. The German car manufacturer has taken many measures to deal with these problems, and it is getting better and better results. Volkswagen is building electric models based on its MEB platform, and problems are inevitable. After all, Tesla also had problems in its early manufacturing of functional electric cars.
Despite this, Model Y is still likely to become a real market disruptor, because its popular body design makes it more beautiful, not as bulky as a traditional SUV, while still providing car owners with enough cargo space to tow Carry luggage or large groceries.
This is the second consecutive month that Model Y has won the "third place" result. The competition between this crossover and ID.3 is still very fierce. EV Sales Blog stated: “Although Model Y once again won the third place in monthly sales, Tesla’s baby SUV must strive to stay ahead of Volkswagen’s ID.3, and the latter’s sales are only 18 cars behind.”
Tesla Model this year 3 occupies a dominant market position, which may indicate that Model y will have the same trend. Crossovers are favored for their versatility. As Tesla's production in China and Germany increases, Musk predicts that Model Y will surpass his brother models in the future, and this prediction may be realized within next year.
