I believe he stated "globally". Which, would be correct.Musk claimed on the investor call model y sales in Q1 of this year outsold every other model including the toyota Carolla at 412k units. Though Must didn't clarify, that # is said to be actually the number of MY+M3 combined.
Carolla sold 740k units in Q1. What gives?
yes but this
According to data from 152 markets, Tesla sold 747,500 units..... so yes beat corolla.yes but this

Is Tesla Model Y The World’s Best-Selling Car? Nope, Not Even Close
Perhaps taking advantage of general media confusion over Tesla’s production and delivery numbers, Elon Musk claimed the Model Y crossover EV was the best-selling single model sold worldwide in the first quarter of this year….
Problem is, on all the charts we could find from Tesla as well as from fawning electric-vehiclesites reporting on them, the company groups Model Y production and sales with Model 3 production and sales. Tesla delivered 412,180 Models 3/Y globally in the first quarter, and we can’t find the breakout among the two.
We reached out to Toyota for Corolla numbers, and the automaker reports it sold 740,561 Corollas worldwide in the first quarter of this year, counting all versions including the Cross. That’s about 75% more than Tesla, even if you count the Model 3 in with the Model Y. Sorry, Elon, not even close….
Where did you find this number from?412,180 my/m3 units sold globally in Q1 vs Carolla which sold 740,561 units in the same time frame globally. How can he state he outsold every other model?
Genuinely, where’s that data?According to data from 152 markets, Tesla sold 747,500 units..... so yes beat corolla.
Still not clear what you’re citingAccording to data from 152 markets, Tesla sold 747,500 units..... so yes beat corolla.
That is a good point… putting aside the debate of “who sold more units?”… How about “Who made more money per unit sold?”… and if vehicle numbers are even remotely close to Toyota, then Tesla is definitely the winner.Yeah, but is it lost on you that the Corolla costs half of what Model Y costs?
The fact that the Model Y is at the top in terms of sales despite being 2x as much expensive as the 2nd best tells you something.
Normally, Toyota globally sells 1.1 - 1.3 million Corollas a year.Musk claimed on the investor call model y sales in Q1 of this year outsold every other model including the toyota Carolla at 412k units. Though Must didn't clarify, that # is said to be actually the number of MY+M3 combined.
Carolla sold 740k units in Q1. What gives?
yesNormally, Toyota globally sells 1.1 - 1.3 million Corollas a year.
Toyota did NOT sell 740K Corollas in a single Q1 2023.
I don't think in all of history that Toyota has every sold over 400K in a single quarter.
For example in all of 2022 Toyota globally sold 1.1 million Corollas.
MY global revenue surpassed Corolla global revenue a long while back!Yeah, but is it lost on you that the Corolla costs half of what Model Y costs?
Known Toyota Corolla global sales statistics are not always only just 3rd-party analyst estimates. Toyota itself sometimes releases statistics.......
(2) we don’t know how many Corollas were sold globally either, as Toyota never releases these figures, analysts perform back-ins (including the 2022 1.1M figure you site above)
This is in contrast to, eg, truck manufacturers who participate in the “best selling truck in US” wars, and release their category data - those figures are typically US only, and direct info from OEMs.
