The disapproval of Elon Musk is the top reason Tesla Model 3 owners are selling their electric vehicles and going for another brand, according to a new survey of 5,000 Model 3 owners.

And yet, the best selling car in the world is the Tesla Model Y. Despite all the Musk hating.
I'm on vacation r/n, the rental car is a Y. It's all right, but not as fancy or premium as I was led to believe
also the decision to route every feature of the car through the touchscreen console is fucking awful
There are decisions I don't want software taking away from me as a driver and this thing does too much of that
I agree on the touchscreen, it's absolutely awful. But if other automakers want people to buy their cars, they better actually make them purchasable. My parents have been on the waitlist for a Chevy Bolt for 6 months and aren't anywhere near getting one, but they could have bought a Tesla same day at any point.
I was thinking about this today as I was looking at a model y: "it's all hype. The only reason people buy these things is because they idolize Elon and his ability to hype his own brand." It's 100% not because they believe in their heart of hearts that they're buying a reliable vehicle(and they look cool); it seems like it's pretty well-known at this point in time that Teslas are a low-quality product.
I find it funny that people are downvoting your comment because Musk man bad
Remind me in 10 years how many of them built recently are still on the roads.
There's 10 year old Teslas driving right now. The Model S came out in 2012.
I stand corrected then. I'd like to think any modern car would last well over 10 years.
Or because they looked into it and found those "stats" of the model Y in the top spot to be improbable

That article's numbers are addressed in the article I posted if you care to take a look.
According to Toyota: "740,561 Corollas worldwide in the first quarter of this year"
Which is more than what the article you linked lists for Tesla (267,200).
And the article I posted says there were only 256k Corollas sold. So which is right? I actually don't know, and would love to find out. I'm having a hard time finding hard sources though.
I'm starting to think the Lemmy hivemind is worse than the one on Reddit.
Is it though? Sites claiming that it is generally lump Model 3 and Model Y numbers together... And even combining production and sales numbers.

In the first quarter of 2023, the Model Y outsold the Toyota Corolla to become the world's best-selling car, the first ever electric vehicle to claim the title.
