US EditionTesla Model Y Charges to Bring Strongest Month in Australia in 2025
- Tesla achieved its strongest month of vehicle deliveries in Australia in May 2025, driven by the updated Model Y's significant sales growth.
- This increase came after a challenging phase marked by adjustments to production lines and growing challenges from overseas electric vehicle manufacturers, with firms based in China posing notable market pressure.
- In May 2025, Tesla’s vehicle deliveries in Australia reached 3,897 units, marking a rise of approximately 9.25 percent compared to the same month the previous year. This growth was largely driven by the refreshed Model Y, which saw its sales surge by 122.5 percent year over year to 3,580 vehicles.
- Tesla CEO Elon Musk emphasized the $30,000 price threshold with tax credits as key for broader market access, while Tesla works to source batteries domestically to reduce reliance on China.
- Tesla's strong Australian performance suggests local market recovery, but global sales face headwinds, and competition with BYD and others intensifies across regions.
