2 problems with this.
1. This decade doesn’t officially end until the 31st of December 2020. 2. Number 1 is a Tesla!?!? Influential cars of the past decade yes, but best, no. |

Didn't look at the list but 20 cars in ten years means there is probably a lot of junk on that list.

About as awkward as the last few seasons of Top Gear
That just means they'll post another clickbait article. Pageviews ftw? |

Tesla as a brand is very influential, but none of their cars stand out as being any more influential than another

By definition a decade is any 10 year span. It is not the end of the 22rd decade, but is the end of the 2010 decade |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anno_D...d_of_a_century Technically I think that means the decade ends after 2020, i.e. January 1st 2021 is the beginning of a new decade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_0 Umm... #racecar or something. |

Except that nobody actually thinks that way except a few neckbeards looking for an idiotic argument. When people look back at "the 20s," they'll count 2020 among them, because it's a 20. Whether it's technically correct is irrelevant and inconsequential.
