The Tesla Model Y entered the top 10 best-selling new electric cars in its first month of sales in Europe. The Model Y also immediately surpasses the Model 3 in the Netherlands.
The Tesla Model Y has been available in a number of European countries since August, including the Netherlands. In the first month of sales, 3,498 units were immediately sold on our continent, good for eighth place in the top ten best-selling electric cars in Europe. Data provider JATO Dynamics announced this on Monday.
The Tesla Model Y thus stayed ahead of the electric Fiat 500 and the Volkswagen Up, but still had a considerable distance from the leaders, namely the Tesla Model 3 with 7,826 units and the Volkswagen ID3, of which 7,958 units were sold in Europe in August. became. Measured through August, the Model 3 is still well in the lead with 74,818 units sold. The Volkswagen ID3 is good for 44,027 units.
In the Netherlands, 127 models of the Model Y were immediately registered in August, BOVAG, RAI Association and RDC announced earlier this month. With that, the Model Y outperformed the Model 3, which was registered 73 times last month. Because Teslas have to come from the United States and China, and they usually arrive at the end of each quarter, sales figures in other months are distorted.
Addition benefit
There is a good chance that the Tesla Model Y will still sell well in the Netherlands in 2021 and that it will soon collapse again. If you still get a Model Y on a license plate in 2021, you can still benefit from a 12 percent addition up to €40,000 of the catalog value for business use. In 2022, the addition will increase to 16 percent to €35,000. A run on Model Y’s that will be registered this year is therefore expected. The Model Y can be ordered here from €65,010. Then you get the Model Y Long Range. We recently examined what you get for that money in our Back to Basics section.
