Really? You are really reaching for straws to try to prove your falsehood. Every car manufacture was affected by the chip shortage and the Covid 19 shutdowns.
However, you said that “Toyota total sales have been falling worldwide over the past few years.”
That is not true. They have sold over 10 million cars for the last five years, except 2020 they sold 9.5.
They are still the number 1 car seller in the world. It’s not even close.
Tesla sales kept skyrocketing through the shutdowns and chip shortages. And EVs use more chips than ICE vehicles.
However, you said that “Toyota total sales have been falling worldwide over the past few years.”
That is not true.
Very true.
Toyota has been at 10 million or a bit higher for quite a while now.
They have sold over 10 million cars for the last five years, except 2020 they sold 9.5.
They are not exactly motoring off are they?
Tesla has increased sales by at least 4 times in the last 5 years.
They are still the number 1 car seller in the world. It's not even close.
Actually, VW is very close to Toyota in total sales.
And by 2030, Tesla will probably be # 1.
