Tesla's Model Y has been confirmed as the world's best-selling car for the third consecutive year. The announcement came amid a series of end-of-year social media posts from Tesla and its executives, highlighting various achievements and upcoming developments. These updates reflect on 2025 progress and optimism for 2026.
On December 30, 2025, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the Tesla Model Y is now officially the world’s best-selling car for the third year in a row. This milestone underscores the electric vehicle's strong market performance and Tesla's dominance in the automotive industry.
Earlier that day, the official Tesla account posted a brief 'Tesla 2025 recap,' teasing future advancements with the message: 'See y’all in 2026 – the best is yet to come 😀.' The post served as a lighthearted wrap-up to the year, without detailing specific events from the recap.
Musk also praised the company's robotics efforts, stating: 'The Optimus hardware and @Tesla_AI team are doing incredible work!' This nod to the Optimus humanoid robot aligns with ongoing developments in Tesla's AI and automation initiatives.
Adding a humorous touch, the @Tesla_Optimus account posted: 'I’ve been walking around the @Tesla office for weeks and they still haven’t given me a badge.' The quip suggests the robot's integration into Tesla's workspace, portraying it as an active 'employee.'
Separately, the @cybertruck account highlighted a practical feature: 'Cybertruck is easy to get in & out. Auto Lower automatically brings it to Entry ride height when parked (roughly small-to-medium SUV height). Once you start driving, the suspension raises back to your preferred ride height.' This update emphasizes user-friendly design in Tesla's truck lineup.
These posts collectively paint a picture of Tesla's 2025 successes, from sales records to technological innovations, setting an enthusiastic tone for the year ahead.
