Last year, the Tesla Model Y made its way to the top of the European automobile sales chart. It’s not every day that you learn that an EV is the bestseller in the automobile market. However, Tesla’s Model Y entry was able to attain that spot in Europe being the top EV choice for buyers as the region moves over to EVs as against gas-driven vehicles.
Across Europe as a continent, Tesla sold a total of 254,822 units of the Model Y vehicle. Now, these are some impressive numbers that prove that Tesla is leading the EV competition in this region. Not only are the EV makers ruling the EV market in Europe, but they are also ruling the automobile market with the most vehicles sold in 2023 alone.
There are a few factors that make the Tesla Model Y the top choice for Europeans looking to purchase a new vehicle. From the styling of the vehicle to its performance, there’s so much for Europeans to love about this vehicle. Additionally, Tesla is playing their cards well in the region by reducing prices of the Model Y to make them more affordable for buyers.
This move is not only to boost sales but also to stay above the ever-growing competition from regions like China. Despite this massive achievement in Europe, Tesla is struggling to protect its crown in the global EV scene. With Chinese EV brands expanding to more regions globally, including Europe, Tesla has a lot to worry about in the coming months.
Last year in Europe, the Tesla Model Y was the bestseller for the better part of the year. But will they be able to retain their crown in this region, or will the competition swipe it away from them? We’ll keep a close watch on the performance of the European automobile market as well as the EV market to see if Tesla will move to solidify their control of this region.
