Tesla saw strong growth, of almost 50%, across Western Europe during the opening quarter of 2026, according to our latest research, albeit from a low base during the same quarter last year.


  • Strong gains and focus on Europe during the opening quarter of 2026, on weak pricing and the introduction of the standard range of Model Y and Model 3 models, saw volumes return to above 70,000 units for the first time, on a quarterly basis in over a year.


  • Europe mitigated against a weak market sentiment for plug-ins during Q1 across China and the US due to tax rises for NEVs and the removal of tax credits, respectively, and helped Tesla remain in positive growth territory globally.


  • Western Europe accounted for every fifth Tesla model delivered worldwide during the opening quarter of 2026
