- Average miles driven per day: 67.

- Average cost of a new vehicle: $48,000

- Fastest selling vehicle ever made: Tesla Model Y.

Just some data points to consider.




Damn I am such an outlier if those numbers are actually true.

Avg miles drive per day:5 (1.5mile commute each way + some extra generous miles)

Avg cost of a new vehicle: idk I've never bought a new vehicle. My last vehicle was a used repo and purchased in 2009. Still going strong.

Fastest selling vehicle ever made: without some data point this seems like complete bs. Toyota, Ford, Honda, insert every major car company, makes more vehicles per year than Tesla could dream about.


their data seems sketchy to me, I'm pretty sure 67 miles a day definitely isn't the average. and yea "fastest selling" seems like a bs metric to boost Tesla


Sorry that was a typo. It was 37.

Fastest selling car, most units sold in a day/week/quarter/year… I don’t know how else to say it. My point was about EV popularity not trying to boost Tesla.
