Tesla Model 3 has ended the Toyota Camry\u2019s 28-year run as the best-selling car in Australia and even drew a small reaction from Toyota.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the last 28 years, the Camry has been the best-selling mid-size car in Australia.<\/p>\n

It was on a path to make it 29 years, but Tesla delivered 1,806 Model 3 vehicles in December, bringing the total to 10,877 Model 3s in 2022 and beating the Camry, which had 9,538 units delivered last year.<\/p>\n

It made the Tesla Model 3 the new best-selling mid-size car in Australia. It\u2019s the first time that an electric car has held that title.<\/p>\n

The change appears to have taken Toyota by surprise since the automaker still listed the Camry as a best-selling medium car in the country in its press release bragging about its dominance over the Australian auto market, but it had to add a mention of vehicles for less than $60,000:<\/p>\n

\n

Toyota vehicles were the best-selling models in nine market segments last year: Corolla (small cars), Camry (medium cars <$60K), RAV4 (medium SUVs), LandCruiser Prado (large SUVs), LandCruiser wagon (upper large SUVs), HiAce (light buses), HiAce (vans), HiLux (4\u00d72 PU\/CC) and HiLux (4\u00d74 PU\/CC).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Model 3 starts at $64,000 in Australia compared to $30,000 for the Camry.<\/p>\n

Electrek\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n

We are starting to see things like that in more and more markets every year. <\/p>\n

Quite soon, only electric vehicles are going to be top-selling vehicles and Toyota is going to need a lot more of them if it still wants to be able to have those lists in its annual press releases.<\/p>\n

The Japanese automaker has been falling behind when it comes to all-electric vehicles as it bet heavily on hybrids, which are just not cutting anymore.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, things like that where an all-electric vehicle takes a 28-year title away from it would light a fire under them.<\/p>\n
