> ”Nobody ever" doesn't really feel accurate here

Please provide a list of all the companies that have reused a first stage booster many times.

And all the companies that have launched more to orbit in a year than everyone else combined.

> According to which body? Tesla's interpretation of NHTSA data? Some other organization? Did other cars prior to Tesla's inception obtain this title "multiple times"?

August 2013 (Model S): Tesla announced that the Model S achieved a 5.4-star rating from the NHTSA, noting it was the highest score ever recorded at the time.

February 2017 (Model X): The NHTSA gave the Model X a 5-star rating in every category, making it the first SUV with the lowest probability of injury.

August 2018 (Model 3): Tesla published data showing the Model 3 had the lowest probability of injury of any car tested by the NHTSA.

September 2022 (Model Y): The Model Y earned record-breaking safety scores during European testing, achieving the highest overall safety score recorded by Euro NCAP at that time.

December 2024 / 2025 (Model Y & Model 3): The IIHS awarded the Model Y a Top Safety Pick+ designation, while Euro NCAP named both the Model 3 and Model Y as "Best-in-Class" safety winners.

January 2026 (Global NCAP Wins): Euro NCAP and ANCAP crowned the Model 3 as the safest Large Family Car and the Model Y as the safest Small SUV under updated protocols.

> * In 2023, the Y peaked at ~1.22 million. In 1923, the Model T sold ~2.09 million.*

Safe to say the model T had a lot less competition in 1923 than the Y does now. Clearly it’s a bigger achievement now.

> Numerous bodies label things "car of the year", and many cars were named that before and after Teslas were produced.

Tesla were the first electric car to win coty and be highly praised as having a chance to make EVs mainstream. I don’t know how old you are and if you remember, the Model S was nothing like we had seen before (I’m an automotive journalist, FWIW)

Never owned a Tesla.

No horse in the race.
