We previously reported that Tesla appeared to be a close second to BMW in US luxury car sales for 2021. However, we've also mentioned that – depending on specifics related to Q4 sales, especially related to December 2021 – Tesla may have sold more cars than BMW. We're not just talking about EVs here, but all vehicles sold.
Tesla doesn't report its US sales separately from its sales across the globe. In many countries, the brand is required to report sales, so its US sales must be gleaned from compiling global data and working backward to determine how many EVs it sold on our shores.
