On: The Lithium Mine Buildup Is Outpacing the Electric...

I meant in the US. In comparison all Tesla models sold 192K last year, for a marketshare of a whopping 1.1% (information is also from carsalesbase). It's funny that you're comparing US sales for Rav4 (just one of half a dozen popular Toyota models), with worldwide sales of electrics, and then extrapolate Tesla figures even though we're in the middle of the year.

Out in the real world very few people can afford a $45k+ car.

Your point about the Rav 4 sales being US only is reasonable. I've tried looking for global sales, I've been unsuccessful so far.

Apparently the biggest selling 'car' was the Ford F series, so not even one model and that sold just over a million.
