"I'm going to go ahead and say it: what happens online doesn't always necessarily square up with what's actually going on in real life. Yes, we all know that Elon Musk's political opinions are controversial to say the least, with the world's richest man often spouting racist right-wing conspiracy theories that have had tangible effects on the American people and our domestic policy. Also, Tesla's model line is stagnant in the U.S.its mild updates here haven't really moved the needle"
"Because, despite all that controversy and its slipping sales globally, people are still buying the things in droves for good reason. Yes, it's a fact that Tesla's suffering from sinking salesbut it's still leading the global EV market by a huge margin. No singular model has been able to touch the Model Y's legacy, save for the Xiaomi YU7. However, that development is very recent, and only in China."
Elon Musk's controversial political statements and conspiratorial rhetoric have produced tangible domestic effects while Tesla's U.S. model lineup shows only mild updates. Despite slipping global sales and controversy, buyers continue to purchase Model Ys in large numbers, keeping Tesla the global EV market leader by a wide margin. The Model Y made EV ownership mainstream and held the record as the world's best-selling car; no single EV nameplate has matched its legacy except the recent Xiaomi YU7 in China. The 2026 Model Y as-tested ranges up to 357 miles with an 82 kWh battery and prices from $41,630 to $59,130.
