    the top 4 slots by a huge margin are Tesla Model 3,Y,S,X

    Is that true? I saw recently that 95% of Tesla’s cars are the Model Y. I assume a huge chunk of the remaining 5% is the Model 3, leaving very few Model S and X cars on the road. I’d be very surprised to hear that either one of them is in the top 4 best selling American made cars.

    Edit: Just looked up this article of best selling cars in 2024, which includes non-American made cars.

    Removing those, it looks like it’s:

    1. Ford F-Series: 152,943 units sold

    2. Chevrolet Silverado: 127,563 units sold

    3. Tesla Model Y: 109,000 units sold

    4. Ram Pickup: 89,417 units sold

    5. GMC Sierra: 68,597 units sold

    6. Ford Explorer: 58,465 units sold

    7. Jeep Grand Cherokee: 54,455 units sold

    8. Chevrolet Equinox: 54,185 units sold

    9. Tesla Model 3: 42,000 units sold (Looks like my 95% number was way off)

    10. Ford Transit: 39,890 units sold

      I said nothing about top sales. I said “most made in America”. As in: of all cars sold in the USA, what are the top 10 which contain the most American manufactured parts and labor".

        Oh gotcha, I misunderstood. Yes they are very much made in America. Seeing people complain about them and acting patriotic because they drive a Ford cracks me up.
