“EVs are becoming increasingly present on roads around the world, with sales reaching 2.1 million globally in 2019.” As for the markets where the Model 3 ranks higher than every rival out there, the list kicks off with the U.S.
Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland can’t get enough of the all-electric sedan.

South Africa also prefers the EC Series over any other EV according to Uswitch , but the problem is, BAIC doesn’t sell electric cars in South Africa.

As for Tesla's own numbers for the Model 3 in 2019, the Palo Alto-based automaker says that it sold more than 300,000 units worldwide. The entire lineup sold 367,820 vehicles or 50 percent more than the previous year. On that note, production output is expected to exceed 500,000 units by the end of 2020.
