Yes, slightly edging out the Toyota RAV4. But Toyota also has the Corolla which is also not too far behind the Tesla Model Y. The Camry also does well, typically around #7 or 8 in the top 10 list, whereas the Model Y is the only Tesla in the top 10.
Across all models Tesla sold around 1.8 million in 2024, with 1.2 million of those being Model Ys.
Toyota across all models sold 10.8 million in 2024. Toyota sold more cars just in the US in 2024 (2.3 million) than Tesla sold in the whole world.
Easy to have the best selling car when you sell very few models across your range. Other car companies "dilute" sales of individual models because they have multiple slightly different models targeting different price points in the same segment, for example globally Toyota sells the Highlander/4Runner/Crown Signia/Prado/Landcruiser SUVs, Corolla Cross/RAV4/bZ crossovers, Corolla/Prius/Camry/Crown/Mirai sedans/hatchbacks. Each of these cannibalizes each others sales, but in toto sell more than any single model Tesla sells for a single segment globally.
