While the automaker hasn&#8217;t officially announced the news yet, it looks like it has already surpassed 4 million cumulative sales globally.<\/p>\n<p>The website worked that out by assembling data from <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\">Tesla<\/a>&#8216;s previous production and delivery reports released each quarter. They found that in 11 out of the last 12 quarters, Tesla&#8217;s deliveries rose compared to the quarter before.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So for every quarter except one in the past three years, Tesla saw quarter-over-quarter sales growth. That&#8217;s impressive, and the sales chart compiled by <em>CleanTechnica<\/em> shows an almost perfect example of exponential growth. As the source article points out, it looks like the first half of the famous S-curve of disruptive technology adoption.<\/p>\n<p>While Tesla&#8217;s overall cumulative sales growth looks impressive whichever way you look at it, splitting out cumulative Tesla Model 3 and <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/model-y\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\">Model Y<\/a> sales growth is arguably even more interesting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery inline \"> <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"2021 Tesla Model Y\"\/> <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"\"\/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo\"> <a href=\"\/photo\/5579630\/2021-tesla-model-y\/\" class=\"msnt-photo-thumb-gallery-main-photo-box\"> <picture class=\"lazyload\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\" https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s5\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 213w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s6\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 445w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s4\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 889w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s3\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s2\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s1\/2021-tesla-model-y.webp 1920w \" sizes=\" (max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px) (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 50px), 649px \"><source type=\"image\/jpeg\" data-srcset=\" https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s5\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 213w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s6\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 445w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s4\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 889w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s3\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s2\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/mgl\/0Mlxp\/s1\/2021-tesla-model-y.jpg 1920w \" sizes=\" (max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 30px) (max-width: 1023px) calc(100vw - 50px), 649px \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.motor1.com\/images\/static\/16x9-tr.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"2021 Tesla Model Y\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\"\/> <\/source><\/source><\/picture> <\/a> <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"value\">27<\/span> <span class=\"label\">Photos<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2023\/04\/22\/tesla-just-passed-4-million-cumulative-sales-charts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chart shows<\/a> that the\u00a0two core models account for more than 3.4 million of Tesla&#8217;s 4 million cumulative global sales. Splitting sales further reveals that the Model 3 accounted for almost 1.9 million sales, while the Model Y saw almost 1.6 million sales. The crossover&#8217;s performance is remarkable considering that it entered production more than two years after the sedan started rolling off the Fremont Factory&#8217;s assembly line.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the graphs, it&#8217;s clear that while <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/model-3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\">Tesla Model 3<\/a> cumulative sales continued to go up steadily, it was the arrival of the Model Y and its rapid ramp-up that really kept Tesla on that overall exponential growth curve.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Data also show that the Model Y is catching up to the Model 3 fast. According to <em>CleanTechnica<\/em>&#8216;s projections, the Model Y could surpass the Model 3 in cumulative sales by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s astonishing seeing as how quickly the Model 3 shattered EV records and records beyond the EV industry since its launch. The Model Y looks destined for greater things, though, having ended 2022 as the world&#8217;s fourth-best selling automobile.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/602829\/tesla-modely-best-selling\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22602829%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22tesla-modely-best-selling%22%7D\">Elon Musk famously predicted the Model Y would become the world&#8217;s best-selling car in 2023<\/a>, surpassing the Toyota Corolla. There&#8217;s a good chance that will happen, but we&#8217;ll have to wait until the year ends.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22583235%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22A%20Look%20At%20Tesla's%20Unbelievable%20Growth%20Under%20Elon%20Musk's%20Leadership%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22elon-musk-management-success-tesla%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FW81VZ3%2Fs5%2Felon-musk-speaking-at-the-cyber-rodeo-event-held-at-giga-texas.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22655631%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Tesla%20Celebrates%204%20Millionth%20Vehicle%20Produced%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22tesla-4000000th-vehicle-produced%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FKbmy8G%2Fs5%2Ftesla-giga-texas.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<section contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"video_mstv\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\"\/>  <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After reaching cumulative global production of 4 million vehicles in March 2023, it was only a matter of time before Tesla hit the same figure when it comes to cumulative global deliveries.
