Tesla’s Model Y became the best-selling new car in Korea in July. It edged past the Hyundai Grandeur, ending a long local streak. Tesla took 33 percent of Korea’s imported car market last month.

Tesla is having its moment there, as the Model Y is the best-selling new car in the country, ahead of not just every other import, but every domestic sedan, crossover and hatchback on offer too. That’s an impressive feat in a country where buyers have historically treated imported cars as a niche indulgence. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup…
