In terms of specific model sales, Tesla Model 3 has the highest total sales volume in the world, with a cumulative sales of more than 500,000 vehicles.

It is worth mentioning that although Tesla has been at the top of the list for four consecutive years, its market share has been shrinking for three consecutive years, with 17% in 2019, 16% in 2020, and 14% in 2021. This has a lot to do with the continuous efforts of other new energy brands and the strong entry of established car companies. Do you think Tesla will be able to stay at the top of the list in 2022?
