Tesla’s latest flagship vehicle has dominated the US electric vehicle (EV) market since its debut in 2017.
That’s given it a healthy lead over rivals such as the GM’s Chevy Bolt and the Nissan Leaf (on the market since 2010).
While those EVs have enjoyed steady sales, Tesla delivered more Model 3s than the flagship EVs for GM and Nissan combined.
It has racked up 400,000 in cumulative sales, Nissan announced this March, and is on track to hit half a million next year.
Its new 226-mile-range battery (up from 150 miles) promises to push Leaf sales up even as popularity of the current model has grown.
