Nissan should get some credit, too. Tesla started production on the Roadster in 2008, which beat Nissan's Leaf which started in 2010, but the Leaf sold much better.

Tesla only made about 2500 before it was discontinued and the Model S was release.

Nissan sold 20 000 Leafs in its first year. It was the first mass produced EV.

It took until early 2020 for Tesla cumulative sales to pass Leaf cumulative sales.
