In 2023, the Tesla Model Y became the best-selling car in Europe. This is the first time an electric model has been number 1 in this ranking.
Tesla dominates the European market in 2023!
For the first time, electric cars, not thermal cars, have become the best-selling cars in Europe. And yes, in 2023, Tesla Model Y has become the most popular car among European consumers. After the surprising first place of the Peugeot 208 in 2022, the Volkswagen Golf has always topped this ranking for ten years. 254,922 units of the Tesla Model Y were sold. It is ahead of Dacia Sandero in the ranking.
Elon Musk predicted it, and 2023 confirmed it: Tesla Model Y will become the best-selling car in Europe in 2022 or 2023! The starting price in Europe is around 40,000 euros. That’s a steep price for a best-selling debut car. Usually, it’s the cheaper models that dominate this type of ranking.
Is the thermal car finished?
The Tesla Model Y is much more than just a vehicle. It embodies the energy transition in progress, a response to the climate challenges of our time.
With its almost zero emissions and advanced technology, it meets the expectations of the most demanding customers. The supremacy of the Tesla Model Y is not limited to the borders of Europe. It reflects a global trend where electric is taking over thermal. In Europe, the Model Y wants to not let go of this first place, surpassing iconic models like the Dacia Sandero or the Peugeot 208. It’s actually pretty funny that it’s an American model that dominates the car sales rankings in Europe.
