The Tesla Model Y was the 6th best-selling vehicle in America in 2022, with approximately 252,000 units being delivered. The Y was by far the best-selling EV last year, however it couldn’t beat any of America’s “big 3” pickup trucks. 653,957 units of the Ford F-Series were sold in 2022, meanwhile 513,354 Chevy Silverados and 468,344 Rams were bought.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also ahead of the Model Y<\/a> were two Toyota models: the RAV4<\/a> (399,941 sales) and the Camry (295,201). Still, the Y beat plenty of traditional top sellers such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota Tacoma.<\/p>\n

It’s no surprise to see the Model Y doing so well. Tesla’s crossover has been a strong seller ever since it launched in March 2020. For the typical buyer, it ticks a lot of boxes: practical, tech-laden, comfortable, and affordable to run. Although its base point of $67,440 is far from cheap, it’s a relatively good deal given all of the above. Plus, buyers are now able to avail of a $7,500 tax credit should they spec their Y with 7 seats (then it qualifies as an SUV).<\/p>\n

The next best-selling EV was, unsurprisingly, the Tesla Model 3<\/a>. 211,643 units were sold last year, meaning it ranks 13th overall.<\/p>\n

In terms of EV sales no other brands came close to Tesla<\/a>, however there were one or two surprises. Rivian shipped\u00a020,332 R1S and R1T trucks last year, a seriously impressive amount for a startup.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, only 20,511 Volkswagen ID.4<\/a> crossovers were sold in America in 2022. Given the ID.4’s competitive pricing and the popularity of the electric crossover segment that’s a somewhat underwhelming figure. However, it’s important to note VW has been heavily impacted by ongoing supply chain issues as it sources its wiring harnesses from Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
