Anyone who looks at German roads can't ignore Tesla anymore. The electric car pioneer is no longer a niche manufacturer, but is now even surpassing some of the "big players" in terms of registration figures.
But how many Teslas are actually in Germany? What impact did the end of government subsidies for electric vehicles have? And what are the Tesla registration figures worldwide?
Here you will find All figures, data and facts about the US automaker.
Teslas in Germany: Current figures
- Number as of January 1, 2025: 191,300
- Number as of January 1, 2024: 164,300
How many Teslas are there in Germany? According to Statista, there were 191,300 vehicles on January 1st of this year – and the number is rising. However, in the entire year of 2024, with 37,574 newly registered cars, only about 59% of the 2023 figure (63,658) was reached.
We are curious to see whether last year's period of weakness can be overcome in 2025.
For a more accurate picture of Tesla registration figures in Germany, it is worth taking a look at the monthly registration figures.
Tesla registration figures for 2025
Tesla registration figures for February 2025
- Tesla registrations January: 1,429
- Comparison with the same month last year: 6,038
Sales figures showed only slight improvement in February, and Tesla remains a safe distance from record numbers. One glimmer of hope: the new Model Y "Juniper," which has already been launched abroad. rising sales figures is intended to lead.
Tesla registration figures January 2025
- Tesla registrations January: 1,277
- Comparison with the same month last year: 3,152
If January was supposed to bring hope for the new year, it has failed miserably. A mere 1,277 new Teslas on German roads – despite the general upward trend in electric cars – leaves room for gallows humor at best; at least 2024 doesn't look so bad anymore. Let's wait and see what approach Tesla takes to extricate itself from this mess.
Tesla registration figures 2024
Tesla registration figures December 2024
- Tesla registrations in December: 3,905
- Comparison with the same month last year: 4,001
Year-end sprint! In December, registration figures surged once again, almost reaching the previous year's level – which, to be fair, wasn't exactly stellar itself. So we're eager to see what the new year brings.
Tesla registration figures November 2024
- Tesla registrations in November: 2,208
- Comparison with the same month last year: 3,353
November also saw a similar decline compared to the previous year. It's probably time to say goodbye to the record figures from 2023, when electric car subsidies were still in place.
Tesla registration figures October 2024
- Tesla registrations in October: 1,607
- Comparison with the same month last year: 3,347
Unfortunately, the September hopes don't seem to be coming true. Only 1,607 new Teslas were registered in Germany, 52% fewer than in October 2023, is the sobering result. It's worth noting that the total number of new electric cars remained at a high level for 2024 – Tesla currently appears to be among the top performers. Not being able to benefit, it now also falls behind BMW in a year-on-year comparison.
Tesla registration figures September 2024
- Tesla registrations in September: 3,758
- Comparison with the same month last year: 4.216
Is there a final upswing in the run-up to the end of the year? In September, the number of new Teslas in Germany increased significantly and is only about 10% below the figure for the same month last year. – no month in 2024 has ever come so close to the respective reference point from 2023.
Tesla registration figures August 2024
- Tesla registrations in August: 2,370
- Comparison with the same month last year: 6,903
August is roughly on par with the The previous month saw an increase, which is not good news. There were almost 4,500 more vehicles at the same time in 2023; 2024 doesn't look like it will be a good year for Tesla (in Germany).
Tesla registration figures July 2024
- Tesla registrations in July: 2,470
- Comparison with the same month last year: 3,905
Unfortunately, we're back to the familiar trend: 2,470 new Teslas in July is neither a record nor suspicious anymore. Rather, it represents a 36 percent decline compared to a moderate month last year.
Tesla registration figures June 2024
- Tesla registrations in June: 4,648
- Comparison with the same month last year: 8,044
Well, there you go! With 4,648 new registrations, June is currently the second strongest month of the year. A trend reversal? A comparison with the previous year significantly dampens the enthusiasm: there were almost 73% more in June 2023.
Tesla registration figures May 2024
- Tesla registrations in May: 1,896
- Comparison with the same month last year: 5,265
Anyone who has followed this timeline for some time knows the current trend: it's downward. Only 1,896 new Teslas were registered in all of Germany in May; a year earlier, almost three times as many were registered.
Tesla registration figures April 2024
- Tesla registrations in April: 1,637
- Comparison with the same month last year: 2,420
One is almost tempted to use the word "crisis": Only 1,637 vehicles with the distinctive "T" badge were newly registered in all of Germany in April. While the same month last year, with 2,420 cars, didn't break any records either. – however, a decline of almost 32% can still be recorded.
Tesla registration figures March 2024
- Tesla registrations March: 3,878
- Comparison with the same month last year: 8,703
February seems to have been just a brief resurgence. – In March, 3,878 new Teslas were registered. The results were again rather weak. This cannot be due to seasonality, as there were 8,703 vehicles in the same month last year.
Tesla registration figures February 2024
- Tesla registrations February: 6,038
- Comparison with the same month last year: 7,711
Is the worst over? In February, compared to the performance of previous months, registration figures rose noticeably again. However, the 6,038 new Teslas registered in Germany are still significantly below the 7,711 registered at the same time last year.
Tesla registration figures January 2024
- Tesla registrations January: 3,152
- Comparison with the same month last year: 4,241
January 2024 This brought no recovery for Tesla: only 3,152 new vehicles were registered in Germany, 26% fewer than in the same month last year. Is the abolition of subsidies for electric cars already having an effect? Tesla, at least, reacted and is offering an interest rate of 0.99% for financing the Model Y.
Tesla registration figures December 2023
- Tesla registrations in December: 4,001
- Comparison with the same month last year: 17,501

- Tesla registrations in November: 4,923
- Comparison with the same month last year: 10,819

- Tesla registrations October: 3,353
- Month of previous year: 3,185

Tesla Model Y sales figures
- Model Y units sold in Europe in 2024 (up to November): 180,600
- Model Y sold in Germany in 202429,900
- Comparison 2023: 45,800 Model Y vehicles in Germany
- Comparison 2022: 35,400 Model Y vehicles in Germany
Tesla sold over 250,000 units of its popular Model Y across Europe in 2023. No other electric car sold more often – a trend that continued, albeit at a lower level, into 2024 (as of November 2024: 180,600 units).
In Germany In 2024 alone, 29,900 Model Ys were sold; in line with the overall performance, significantly fewer than in previous years, but still by far the most successful electric model in the country.
Model Y 2025
Will that still be the case in 2025? January This suggests otherwise. Only 979 new registrations of the Tesla bestseller leave room for it to be overtaken by six competing models from the VW Group. In Europe, 5,900 units were enough for third place.
The same picture, with slightly different numbers, is given by the February Once again, six VW vehicles are ahead of the Model Y with its 1,035 units. According to Tesla, this is partly due to... Switch to Juniper productionWhether the Model Y facelift will bring about a turnaround will become clear in the coming months.
Model Y 2024
In the February In 2024, Tesla launched its new production facility across Germany. 5,408 Model Y from, What almost 90 This represents % of all new Teslas this month. Thus, the Model Y remains The most popular electric car in Germany; in the ranking of all drive types, only the VW Golf is ahead of the crossover SUV from Musk.
However, this trend did not continue in the March The trend will only continue to a limited extent in 2024. Although the Model Y still accounts for the majority of new Teslas (and electric cars) in Germany, with 3,244 units, it no longer appears in the top ten most registered models of all drive types (ranking 15th).
The general negative trend of April 2024 also affected the Model Y: only 1,102 new units in Germany now also mean the loss of its pole position among electric cars. – as many as 5 models from the German competition are pushing past.
A very similar picture emerges with 1,169 new Model Y vehicles in the... MayThis means: 6th place among electric cars, and not even in the top 50 among all drive types.It is noteworthy, however, that in the current year 2024, the Model Y, with a total of 13,316 units, is still significantly ahead of the competition.
The upswing in June This also benefits the Model Y in this country: 3,346 new cars mean a return to the top 50 list of all drive types. – there, the crossover SUV ranks 21st. Also worth mentioning is the €6,000 discount that Tesla offered on in-stock Model Y vehicles in June.
With this The supposed connection is discussed in the July But the situation was quickly resolved: The discount remains, but the number of Model Y registrations dropped to 1,926. That's just enough for 40th place among the most registered cars, but it also fits with the general slump in electric car sales. At least it still occupies a position. This type of drive system still holds first place.
This will also change in August Nothing. With 1,957 units, the Model Y remains at the July level, but interestingly climbs to 25th place in the ranking of all drive types. – presumably a consequence of the overall weak automotive market.
Tesla's strong performance in September is once again thanks to the Model Y: 3,067 units represent almost 80% of all new Teslas this month and a strong 12th place in the overall ranking, but only Second place among electric cars.
Tesla would have been pleased with this second place in the October Presumably pleased. Led by the Skoda Enyaq, several models from the VW Group are ahead of Tesla's bestseller. The Model Y lands in 7th place among electric cars with a weak 1,276 units, but still clearly leads the year's ranking.
The following provides some boost: November with With 1,769 Model Ys sold and a fifth-place finish among electric vehicles, the Model Y's overall victory for the year is virtually guaranteed, despite its declining performance over the past few months.
A look at the December This confirms it; 3,239 new Model Ys bring Tesla's best-selling vehicle across the finish line as the (electric) vehicle of the year. However, a significant increase is needed to retain this title in 2025.
Tesla Model 3 sales figures
- Model 3s sold in Germany in 2024: 7.012
- Comparison 2023: 15,900
- New registrations February 2025: 368
The Model 3 will again be significantly outsold by its larger sibling in 2024, with a total of just under 7,000 vehicles sold in Germany. – a significant decline of over 55% compared to the previous year, which itself had already lost 50% compared to 2022.
In Europe The Model 3 is significantly more popular and ranks second behind the Model Y, with 99,100 registrations in 2024 (until November).
Model 3 2025
Similar to the general Tesla performance, the Model 3 presents itself in January Weak: 272 new mid-range sedans represent a new low for the once best-selling model.
In the February At least things are looking up again, albeit only to 368 vehicles. Even Mercedes S-Class models were registered more often this month than the Model 3.
Model 3 2024
In the March In 2024, there were just 545 units registered in Germany, which is even fewer than in January, when 695 Model 3s were registered. – although Tesla's total sales were lower at that time.
In the April In 2024, the Model 3 even dropped out of the German top 20 electric cars.It seems that the Model Y currently represents the better deal for almost all (German) customers.
Interestingly, the Model 3 was able to establish itself in the May back into the rankings. Fighting; 710 units mean 12th place and bring the total number of new Model 3s in Germany for the current year to almost 3,000.
The Model 3 was able to maintain its position in the ranking. June even expand and reaches rank 10 with 1,202 units. – a brief resurgence, however, which was met with an almost crushing 450 cars in the July and 389 units in August as well as respectively It finished in 24th place among electric cars.
The comparatively strong September comes with 608 Model 3 and Electric cars are therefore ranked 17th. However, they are still miles away from their previous highs.
However, that doesn't mean they couldn't go even further: 303 new Model 3s in October are, for the time being, a new low point, which in November Fortunately, the situation was not worsened again with 416 entry-level Teslas.
Also in December Things improved somewhat; the last monthly result of the year was 642 new registrations.

On the entire year 2024 Tesla's 37,574 new registrations give it a market share of 1.34% (approximately 2.8 million new registrations across all brands).
Looking solely at electric cars, Tesla's market share jumped to approximately 3.98% in February 2025 (around 35,949 new registrations across all brands). Even in the weak year of 2024, double-digit percentages were regularly recorded – Tesla is currently no longer truly convincing, even in the (overall significantly growing) electric car market.
Tesla registration figures worldwide
- Newly registered Teslas worldwide (2024): 1,790,000
- Registrations in Q4 2024: 495,600

In 2024, there were 1.79 million new Teslas worldwide, so the decline is significantly less pronounced on the international stage than in Germany.
