Tesla Model Y successfully defeated competitors such as Volkswagen Golf in September and became the best-selling car in Germany.
Data from the German Vehicle Administration shows that in September, the number of new Tesla Model Y registrations reached 9,846, far exceeding the Volkswagen Golf, which is very popular in Germany, and becoming the sales champion of the automobile market that month. Following closely behind is Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Tiguan , ranking second and third with sales of 7095 and 5887 respectively. Among the top ten lists, electric vehicle sales account for 44%.
In the electric vehicle segment, Tesla sales are also outstanding. Tesla firmly occupies Germany's electric vehicle sales champion and runner-up in the third quarter. Among the top ten lists, the total sales of Model Y and Model 3 are more than the last eight places combined.
For the company, Volkswagen Group still tops the German sales list. But Tesla has emerged. With the strong performance of Model Y and Model 3, the company dramatically rose from the previous seventh place to the second place in the company's sales list, squeezing Stelantis, Hyundai Group and Renault -Nissan Group behind.
Tesla Model Y is a considerable achievement to become the best-selling vehicle in Germany, the European Auto Base Camp. Europe has now become the center of competition for electric vehicle manufacturers. Europe's demand for electric car is currently much higher than anywhere else, and as more and more brands join the competition, the competition in the electric car market has become more intense.
Outside analysis believes that Tesla's strong performance in September may be due to the increase in productivity of the company's Berlin Gigafactory. Tesla Berlin Gigafactory has achieved production capacity of 2,000 vehicles in October, making Model Y a leader in the German auto market that is difficult to reach. In the future, with the increase in production capacity of Tesla's Berlin super factory, the sales of Model Y will have further breakthroughs.
At the same time, German local automakers are facing huge cost pressures and production barriers. Against the backdrop of a shortage of natural gas supply this winter, some manufacturers may force temporary closure of factories until energy supply resumes.
In addition to Germany, Tesla Model Y also dominates other markets: Model Y ranks first in New Zealand sales and second in the UK.
At the annual shareholders' meeting held in October last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the Model Y should be the best-selling car, and this milestone is expected to be achieved in 2023. In early August this year, Musk spoke again, and the Model Y is expected to become the best-selling model this year and will remain the best-selling model next year.
Globally, the trend of electric vehicles seems unstoppable.
According to CleanTechnica data, global electric vehicle sales rose 60% year-on-year to 847,600 units in August this year. In August, global electric vehicle sales accounted for 15% of the global overall car sales, of which the market share of pure electric vehicles was as high as 11%, and the overall share showed a trend of continuing to rise.
