Of course it was leader in a market of one. The alternatives were Nissan Leaf and probably the first gen Renault Zoe. Nobody would buy those.

The original argument was not that they were "leader" but that somehow people were buying Teslas for their quality or being better than everything else.

Second, they are still the leader. The quality arguments are clearly nitpicky since people seem to be buying them in droves anyway.
