While the latter was my opinion on the product, the former is an actual fact. If you look up the stats of fastest selling cars around the world, the Model 3 and Y will be top of the list.

BYD (Chinese company) are also there, thanks to Elon making the Tesla designs open source, and the nature of Chinese choosing them over an American company in their own country.

While it's true that Teslas are best sellers, my question is, how sustainable are they on a larger scale (reducing dependence on fuels directly while simultaneously being within the paradigm of so-called cleanr energy, which in itself is not sustainable at scale without nuclear), and what problem are they solving that ICE vehicles don't already address?

I think the problem on a whole is the battery technology across all devices, including cars. That technology must advance. Solid state is coming.

At least Tesla has a battery recycling programme, but there is so much FUD around that which is unjustified. Just like Apple does for their devices.

However, in saying all that, they do solve many issues, including maintenance. There are few parts in an EV that require maintenance. As well as being able to have features added via software updates and making it even more efficient.

Not to mention the future of self driving advancements.
