While Elon Musk continues to be a lightning rod for
political controversy and discussion, Tesla is (at least
for the time being) still executing in the background.
Just last week the company's Model Y vehicle passed the
Toyota Corolla as the best selling car in the world,
according to The Driven, an Australian auto blog.
Citing data from JATO Dynamics, the blog says that in
Q1 the Model Y sold 267,200 vehicles, blowing past
Toyota Corolla’s 256,400 sales. The blog also notes
that the Model Y has been "hugely popular" in Australia
and is the second best selling SUV of any type.
"When comparing it to ICE vehicles, the Tesla Model Y
is the best-selling Medium SUV in the over $60,000,
in the country by a wide margin," The Driven writes.
"With 5,264 sales, it far outpaces the next best-selling
Medium SUV which is the Audi !5 with 1,618 sales."

Lots of categories and sub-categories involved here.
In any case, looks like Tesla isn't doing as bad as
some like to claim.
