No matter how you spin it, the Tesla story is impressive. First entering the spotlight in 2013 when the Model S was unveiled, Tesla has become a rightful competitor to established American automakers like Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. Since then, the company has set a slew of company and national records. The Model 3 became theworld’s best-selling electric vehicle (EV) worldwide in 2019. Tesla’s annual deliveries increased by nearly 36% year-over-year in 2020. Finally, the company’s market cap outperformed any other manufacturer in 2020.
If you’ve ever considered owning a Tesla, you’re not alone. Teslas are a popular choice for those looking to buy a luxury car that is also an electric car. Americans purchased nearly two-times as many electric cars in the first quarter of 2022 as they did in the first quarter of 2021. From fuel efficiency to futuristic technology, it’s safe to assume that Tesla will continue to edge out some of the other competition as EV adoption only increases. In fact, sales of electric vehicles doubled in 2021 to a new record of 6.6 million, and currently more are now sold each week than in a year a decade earlier. With over 75% of EVs sold being Tesla models, as well as the planned 2023 Tesla Cybertruck, Tesla is the standard for luxury electric vehicles.
