Despite recent challenges, Tesla has managed to increase its sales in the United Kingdom, with nearly 4,000 vehicles sold in February, marking a 20.7% increase from the previous year. This surge in demand for electric vehicles has been attributed to the popularity of the Model 3 and Model Y, which have ranked second and third, respectively, following the Mini Cooper.
Furthermore, Tesla’s market share in February has risen to 4.6%, up from 3.75% in the previous year. This indicates that Elon Musk’s actions have not negatively impacted EV manufacturers in the UK.
According to a report by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), EV sales have increased by almost 42% compared to the previous year, accounting for 25% of all new vehicle registrations. This spike in sales can be attributed to individuals rushing to purchase new vehicles before the luxury car tax comes into effect in April, potentially affecting several EV models for the first time.
TLDR: Despite recent challenges, Tesla’s sales have increased in the UK, with a rising demand for electric vehicles driven by popular models like the Model 3 and Model Y.
