Tesla Model 3, Model Y grab two of top three global EV sales spots in January

[F-22Raptor]

The Tesla Model 3 and Model Y grabbed second and third place in the global EV sales figures for January, establishing their place as a couple of the most successful electric cars in the global market.

The Model 3 managed to grab second place, selling 21,589 units throughout the world in January 2021, with the Model Y coming in third with 9,597 units sold. The most popular EV in the world was the Wuling HongGuang Mini EV, a General Motors, SAIC, and Wuling project car that is highly affordable but not necessarily efficient in range (110 miles per charge) and has a low top speed of only 62 MPH. This is the first instance where the HongGuang Mini EV has dethroned the Model 3 in monthly sales on a global scale.


While the Model 3 slid back to second place, the Model Y joined its sibling vehicle on the podium for the first time. The Model Y has been highly successful for Tesla in the United States and was the company’s top seller in its home state of California in Q4 2020.

An let’s be clear, the Wuling Coffins are not a serious competitor to Tesla.

Lol.. why suddenly become a global ranking instead just focus on China market? Maybe to cover some deficiency for some particular brand?

I cover the Chinese and global market. The global market is more important than China alone. Tesla’s goal is global dominance. And with ramp beginning in Berlin and Texas later this year, that rings even more true.

As for China, thousands of MIC Tesla’s were exported in January. A lower number of deliveries were expected. An Tesla has only begun ramping Model Y. There is no competition.
