Tesla may be way ahead in market cap for the moment, but it's not real. Tesla is losing market share in the more electrified markets.

Norway is a leader in the electric car market. Sales MTD for cars in Norway has Tesla with a total of 45 cars sold (15 of the Model 3, 18 of the S and 12 of the X).

Audi has sold 210 E-trons alone, Puegeot has sold 176 2008 models alone, Volvo 133 XC 40's, MB Eqc 400 4matic's 131, Nissan Leafs 102.... Those are the one's that have already sold over 100 of those models. The Tesla Model S is the Tesla leader with 18, which is good for 20th place in the country that is leading in electrification of their "fleet".

Tesla is a lot of hype, but has consistently failed to deliver what they promise on time. They sold less than 500,000 vehicles world wide in 2020 - and they are "worth" more than any other car company in the world?

In September of 2019 Tesla Model 3 led all sales with 2341 of a total of 6815 electric cars sold (34% of the sales). September of 2020 the VOLKSWAGEN ID.3 PRO 150 KW was the leader with 1989 sold out of 10,568 electric vehicles sold in Norway (less than 20% of the sales). So with sales in Norway up over 35%, Tesla couldn't even match the number of cars they sold the year before.
