Record sales in Germany, driven by Tesla
Record sales in Germany: electric car purchases rose by 97.4% in September, with Tesla leading the way.
Record sales in Germany, 34.5% for electric vehicles
In the month just passed, the Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in Germany overall. With 8,038 registrations, it outperformed all local models, which are available in various powertrains. Behind this American model—manufactured near Berlin—were three Volkswagen models: the Golf in second place with 6,580 registrations, the Tiguan in third with 5,751, and the T-Roc in fourth with 5,172. But in sixth place came the Model 3 (4,512), completing an exceptional month for Tesla. The entire electric vehicle market is also thriving: with 88,599 EVs sold, its share rose to 34.5%, up from 19.3% in September 2025. The increase since the start of the year is 58.1%, with 604,144 EVs sold (representing a 27.2% share). These are remarkable figures, on par with France’s even more impressive surge, where electric vehicles account for 41%. Meanwhile, Italy remains at a meager 7%.
Is the Model Y already showing signs of aging? The numbers say otherwise.
German media focus especially on Tesla’s outstanding figures. The Model Y saw a surge of +260.9% compared to September 2025, nearly quadrupling its year-over-year sales. Far from being an early-aging vehicle... All this happened in a month that’s becoming record-breaking for the brand in Europe. It also ranked first in France, Iceland, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, and Finland, writes Bestsellingcarsblog. It’s worth noting this is the second time the Model Y has topped Germany’s overall sales chart, with the first being in September 2022. The Model 3 also performed well (+284.7%). But what’s most significant is the unstoppable rise of electric vehicles in many markets. It’s a clear signal that there’s no going back.
