Elon Musk said,

“The 20 million by 2030 is an aspiration, not a promise. And the reason for aiming for something like that is there are approximately two billion cars and trucks in the world and for us to really make a dent in sustainable energy and electrification, I think we need to replace at least one percent of the fleet per year to really be meaningful. And that’s where the 20 million units comes from.

“Let’s try to replace one percent of the global fleet of two billion cars and trucks per year. That’s our aspiration. It’s not a promise; it’s an aspiration. I think we’ve got a good chance of getting there and people will see based on the products that we unveil — will be able to judge for themselves whether that goal is realistic or not.”
