That article’s numbers are addressed in the article I posted if you care to take a look.

According to Toyota: “740,561 Corollas worldwide in the first quarter of this year”

Which is more than what the article you linked lists for Tesla (267,200).

And the article I posted says there were only 256k Corollas sold. So which is right? I actually don’t know, and would love to find out. I’m having a hard time finding hard sources though.
