US EditionTesla's European sales rout continues but new Model Y boosts Norway deliveries
- Tesla rebounded in Norway in 2025 as Model Y became the best-selling car for three months, with EVs making up 93.9% of new registrations in May.
- The rebound followed Tesla's offer of zero-interest loans and the launch of Model Y, despite broader European sales declining amid political backlash and rising competition.
- Norway's strong EV incentives, high charging infrastructure, and consistent zero-emission vehicle goals supported Tesla's sales growth, which drove 18.2% market share in May and an 8.3% sales rise year-to-date.
- Jonathan Parr stated that Norwegian buyers prioritize price over politics and feel no shame owning a Tesla, even as 43% of EV drivers said politics affect brand choice in a recent NEVA survey.
- Tesla's strong performance in Norway contrasts with a 49% drop in EU sales and a market share decline to 1.1%, reflecting regional challenges from Chinese rivals and consumer protests.
