A new record quarter for Tesla

The American company keeps breaking records. Tesla sold 466,140 vehicles worldwide between April and June, setting a new record.

Elon Musk’s company had already broken a record in the previous quarter, and it doesn’t stop there. In the last quarter, Tesla sold 466,140 vehicles. A number of units sold that exceeds the estimates of Wall Street financial analysts, who expected 448,000 sales during the same period.

Models 3 and Y leading the way

These are the best-sellers of the American brand, with Tesla Model 3 and Y sold at 446,915 units. This accounts for 95.87% of the company’s total sales. In Europe, the SUV from the lineup was the most sold vehicle, showing growth and continuity that seem to be progressing.

An astonishing number in France  

According to AAA data, the same models that dominate sales worldwide also lead in the country. The Model 3 and Y are, in France, the most sold vehicles. In June, the Tesla Model Y was the best-selling vehicle in the electric range, with 4,335 sales. The Model 3 is “only” the second, just behind its sister, with 3,966 purchases.

After record-breaking quarters, an unprecedented semester

Tesla led during the first two quarters, automatically placing it ahead in the total sales for the first half of 2023. 888,000 vehicles were purchased between January and June. An increase of 57% compared to 2022, which saw 565,000 sales.

What is the main reason for this increase in sales?

Recently, Tesla put some of its vehicles on “sale”. Not all, of course, but a good portion, which allowed buyers to decide to purchase a vehicle of the brand. In France, for example, the ecological bonus helped facilitate customers’ decision when buying the car. This was also thanks to the recent decrease in prices across the range.

The Performance model dropped from 70,000 euros at its launch in 2018 to an average of 54,000 euros in April 2023. A reduction of 16,000 euros.
