Preliminary data indicates that the Tesla Model Y has passed the Toyota Corolla and Toyota RAV4 as the top selling cars by unit volume in the world on a monthly basis.
It is close in June but further increases in production will make it definitive in August, 2022.
When this is revealed in official statistics or in a clear official statement from Tesla at meetings in July or August then it could be stock and marketing catalyst. This resulted from the rise of Tesla Model Y (Shanghai, Fremont, Berlin and Austin factories) and the collapse of Toyota sales in China and the United States.

+1 for a small Tesla vehicle, with a little bit of a sport coupe flair to it. Performance and efficiency do go hand in hand.
Practically speaking Tesla only makes two models of cars (model 3 and Y).
I’m now in the market for a new car. My previous cars were small hatchbacks, Nissan Micra, Toyota Echo/Yaris. I think that style is overwhelmingly superior to other styles unless you actually *need* something bigger, in which case some sort of van is the way to go, maybe some sort of truck.
Is Tesla planning on making a small hatchback any time soon?
What about any hybrid electrics in that style from other companies.
Given the distances & cold weather where I live, Alberta Canada, I’m still dubious about getting an all electric vehicle.
The model Y Is their small h hatchback/ crossover
