What experts have been predicting since autumn is slowly being confirmed. Automotive News Europe has information on 97% of sales in European Union countries (plus EFTA and Great Britain) and it clearly shows that Tesla Model Y is the best-selling car for 2023. It is the first electric car, the first mid-range car, the first car in the premium price category and the first non-European car in the modern era to reach the top of the rankings.
The counter stopped at 254,822, the second Dacia Sandero has 235,893 units. Model Y was the best seller in seven months of the year, it was Dacia Sandero three times, Volkswagen T-Roc once. From the Czech point of view, it is interesting that the Škoda Octavia is in tenth place in terms of sales.
How did Musk’s people achieve such success? In addition to the good name of the brand, the discounting series that Tesla started right at the beginning of January 2023 and continues this year definitely helped:
Germany also helped – both with subsidies for the purchase of electric cars for companies, but also with the new Gigafactory. The result is 45,800 registrations.
Best seller in the world?
It’s too early to confirm, but even so, things look promising for the Model Y. It was the best seller in the first, second and third quarters, and the fourth is traditionally strong for Tesla. A global total of around 1,220,000 units is expected, with the Toyota Corolla likely to be second with an estimated 1,080,000 units.
