Regulators Focus on Tesla’s ‘Mad Max’ Mode for First Time
The Tesla Model Y has regained its position as the best-selling electric vehicle (EV) in Europe, demonstrating its competitive edge in the market. Despite facing pressure from several domestic brands offering compelling alternatives, Tesla’s popular model has once again stood out. In September, the Model Y recorded impressive sales figures, solidifying its dominance.
Tesla Model Y Sales Performance
In September, the Model Y sold 25,938 units in Europe, earning the title of the best-selling car for that month. Although this figure reflects a decline of 8.6 percent compared to the same month in 2024, it was sufficient to reclaim the top position.
Sales Rankings in Europe
- Tesla Model Y: 25,938 sales
- Renault Clio: 20,146 sales (second place)
- Dacia Sandero: Led the sales chart with four monthly titles this year
- Volkswagen T-Roc: Best-selling vehicle in August
Although the Model Y secured its first monthly sales crown of the year, it has not consistently placed among the top three EVs throughout 2024. The competition has been fierce, with the Sandero, Clio, and T-Roc dominating the rankings.
Global Sales and Competitiveness
Globally, the Tesla Model Y remains a top contender in the automotive market. It has been the best-selling vehicle worldwide for the past two years, outperforming both traditional combustion engine cars and other EVs.
In the United States, the Model Y continues to lead in sales, showcasing its appeal as one of the most popular choices among consumers. China presents more competition; however, the Model Y maintains its attraction due to its premium design and advanced technology features.
Record Sales Period
Recently, Tesla experienced its most successful three-month sales period in history, delivering nearly half a million vehicles from July to September. This achievement underscores the brand’s robust sales strategy in a rapidly evolving market.
