The Tesla Model Y had a very successful year in 2022, becoming the best-selling electric crossover in the United States and managing to earn sixth place in the best-selling vehicles category as a whole, with around 252,000 units delivered in the US.
Bun in China, the story is a bit different. With local giants like BYD and SAIC, Tesla is having a tougher time appealing to Chinese customers, selling roughly 400,000 cars in 2022 (until November), while BYD managed to have a record-breaking year, selling over 900,000 battery-electric vehicles (BEV) and more than 1.85 million plug-in vehicles.
