The jalopnik link is only for the first quarter, so old info.
I used current info that included the second quarter. Why use old data to try and make your case when current data is available?
As to the rapid rise of the Model Y sales (sales and registrations are basically the same thing), it's come at a cost of sales of the Model X (the other 3 row EV Tesla produces). As recently as 2020 Tesla sold over 4200 Model X's in one month. Despite more people buying EV's than ever, the Model X sold less than 2000 units in June. The increase in Model Y sales is also predicated on massive discounts and government incentives. ICE vehicles were sold without those benefits.
You even boasted about the massive discounts and incentives when you referenced the $14,000 Model 3....
I'd get excited if it was truly free market sales, not government subsidized sales.
