Anyone looking at German roads can no longer ignore Tesla. The e-car pioneer has long since ceased to be a niche manufacturer and is now even outperforming one or two of the big players in terms of registration figures.
But what is the actual number of Teslas in Germany? What impact did the end of state subsidies for electric vehicles have? And what about the Tesla registration figures worldwide?
Here you can find all the facts and figures about the US car manufacturer.
Teslas in Germany: current figures
- Number on 1. January 2024: 164.000
How many Teslas are there in Germany? According to Statista, there were 164 on the first of January last year.000 vehicles - and the trend is rising. In 2024 as a whole, 37.574 newly registered cars but only approx. 59 % of the value from 2023 (63.658) was achieved.
We are excited to see whether last year's weak phase 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 2024
Tesla registration figures December 2024
- Tesla registrations December: 3.905
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 4.001
Year-end spurt! In December, registration figures shot up again and even almost caught up with the previous year's figure - which, to be fair, was not really good itself. In this respect, we are excited to see what the new year will bring.
Tesla registration figures November 2024
- Tesla registrations November: 2.208
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 3.353
November also recorded a similar decline compared to its predecessor last year. It is probably time to say goodbye to the record figures from 2023, when there was still an e-car subsidy, in the longer term.
Tesla registration figures October 2024
- Tesla registrations October: 1.607
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 3.347
Unfortunately, the September hope does not seem to be confirmed. Only 1.607 new Teslas in Germany, 52% fewer than in October 2023, is the sober balance sheet. It is noteworthy that the total number of new electric cars remained at a high level for 2024 - Tesla does not seem to be able to benefit from this at present and is now also falling behind BMW in a year-on-year comparison.
Tesla registration figures September 2024
- Tesla registrations September: 3.758
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 4.216
Are things picking up again in the run-up to the end of the year? In September, the number of new Teslas in Germany increased significantly and was only around 10% below the figure for the same month last year - no month in 2024 has ever come so close to the respective reference from 2023.
Tesla registration figures August 2024
- Tesla registrations August: 2.370
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 6.903
August is roughly on a par with the previous month, but this is not good news. Just under 4.500 vehicles more in 2023 at the same time; 2024 no longer seems to be a good year for Tesla (in Germany).
Tesla registration figures July 2024
- Tesla registrations July: 2.470
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 3.905
We are unfortunately back to the usual trend: 2.470 new Teslas in July are now neither a record nor suspicious. In fact, it is a 36% decline compared to a moderate month in the previous year.
Tesla registration figures June 2024
- Tesla registrations June: 4.648
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 8.044
Well, that works! With 4.648 new registrations, June is the second strongest month of the year so far. A trend reversal? A comparison with the previous year puts a significant damper on the euphoria: almost 73% more in June 2023.
Tesla registration figures May 2024
- Tesla registrations May: 1.896
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 5.265
Those who have been following this chronicle for some time will be familiar with the current trend: it's going down. Only 1.896 new Teslas were registered throughout Germany in May, almost three times as many a year earlier.
Tesla registration figures April 2024
- Tesla registrations April: 1.637
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 2.420
So slowly one is inclined to use the word "crisis": Only 1.637 vehicles with the distinctive "T" were newly registered throughout Germany in April. Although the previous year's figure of 2.420 cars did not break any records either - but a decline of just under 32% was nevertheless recorded.
Tesla registration figures March 2024
- Tesla registrations March: 3.878
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 8.703
February seems to have been only a brief upsurge -in March, with 3.878 new Teslas again achieved rather weak figures. This cannot be due to seasonality, as there were 8 in the same month last year.703 vehicles.
Tesla registration figures February 2024
- Tesla registrations February: 6.038
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 7.711
Is the worst over? Measured against the performance of previous months, February saw a noticeable upturn in registration figures. The 6.038 new Teslas in Germany are still well below the 7.711, which were achieved at the same time in the previous year.
Tesla registration figures January 2024
- Tesla registrations January: 3.152
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 4.241
January 2024 brought no recovery for Tesla: Only 3.152 newly registered vehicles in Germany, 26% fewer than in the same month last year. Is the abolition of the e-car subsidy already making itself felt here? Tesla has reacted and is offering an interest rate of 0.99% for financing the Model Y.
Tesla registration figures December 2023
- Tesla registrations December: 4.001
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 17.501
In December 2023 4.001 Teslas newly registered in Germany. The picture of weak performance compared to the same month last year thus continues, when more than four times as many Teslas were registered (17.501).
Teslas in Germany: registration figures for November 2023
- Tesla registrations November: 4.923
- Comparison with the same month of the previous year: 10.819
In November 2023, Tesla reached 4.923 newly registered vehicles. This is more than in October, but the figure is more than 50% lower than in the same month last year (10.819).
Teslas in Germany: registration figures for October 2023
- Tesla registrations in October: 3.353
- Vorjahresmonat: 3.185
Tesla sales figures Germany-wide (or rather, registration figures) were 3.353 vehicles and thus roughly at the level of the same month of the previous year (3rd quarter of 2010).185).
Tesla Model Y sales figures
- 2024 Model Y sold in Europe (until November): 180.600
- 2024 Model Y sold in Germany: 29.900
- Comparison 2023: 45.800 Model Y in Germany
- Comparison 2022: 35.400 Model Y in Germany
Tesla could sell over 250 of the popular Tesla Model Y across Europe in 2023.000 units to the market. No e-car was sold more often - a trend that will continue, albeit at a lower level, in 2024 (November 2024: 180.600 units).
In Germany alone, there were 29 in 2024.900 Model Y; significantly less than in previous years, in line with the overall performance, but still by far the most successful electric model in Germany.
Model Y 2024
In February 2024, Tesla set 5.408 Model Y, which is almost 90 % of all new Teslas this month. This means that the Model Y is still the most popular electric car in Germany, with only the VW Golf ahead of Musk's crossover SUV in the ranking of all drive types.
However, this trend could only continue to a limited extent in March 2024. In this country, 3.244 units, most new Teslas (and e-cars) are still a Model Y, although the car no longer appears in the top ten most registered models of all drive types (15th place).
The general negative trend of April 2024 did not stop at the Model Y: only 1.102 new units in Germany now also mean the loss of pole position for electric cars - 5 models from the German competition are squeezing past.
A very similar picture emerges with 1.169 new Model Y in May. This means: 6th place among e-cars, but not even in the top 50 among all drive types. What is remarkable, however, is that in the current year 2024, the Model Y with a total of 13.316 units is still well ahead of the competition.
The upswing in June is also benefiting the Model Y in this country: 3.346 new cars mean a return to the top 50 list of all drive types - where the crossover SUV occupies 21st place. Place. It is also worth mentioning the discount of 6.000 that Tesla granted on Model Y stock vehicles in June.
However, this apparent connection is immediately dispelled in July : the discount is still available, but the number of Model Y registrations falls to 1.926. This is just enough for 40th place among the most registered cars, but also fits in with the general lull in electric cars. After all, the company is still in first place for this type of drive.
This will not change in August. With 1.957 units, the Model Y remains at the July level, but interestingly climbs to 25th place in the top list of all drive types - presumably an effect of the overall weak automotive market.
The strong Tesla performance in September is again thanks to the Model Y: 3.067 units represent almost 80% of all new Teslas this month and a strong 12th place. Place in the overall ranking, but only place 2 among e-cars.
Tesla would probably have been delighted with this second place in October . Led by the Skoda Enyaq, several models from the VW universe can be found ahead of Tesla's bestseller. The Model Y lands with a weak 1st place.276 units in 7th place among e-cars, but still clearly leads the annual ranking.
The November with 1.769 Model Y and a fifth electric car place. The Model Y's victory for the year is therefore unlikely to be taken away from it, despite the fact that its performance has been declining for some time.
A look at December confirms this; 3.239 new Model Ys bring the Tesla bestseller across the finish line as the (e-)year's winner. To retain this title in 2025, however, a significant increase is needed.
Tesla Model 3 sales figures
- 2024 Model 3 sold in Germany: 7.012
- Comparison 2023: 15.900
- New registrations December 2024: 642
In 2024, the Model 3 is once again well ahead of its bigger brother, with a total of just under 7.000 vehicles - 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 much more popular and occupies 2nd place. rank behind the Model Y, where it will reach 99 in 2024 (by November).100 approvals.
Model 3 2024
In March 2024, there were just 545 units in Germany, which is even fewer than in January, when 695 Model 3s were registered -although overall Tesla sales were lower then.
In April 2024, the Model 3 even dropped out of the German top 20 electric cars. It seems that the Model Y is currently the better deal for almost all (German) customers.
Interestingly, the Model 3 was able to return to the ranking in May. 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 even able to improve its position in the ranking in June and comes in at 1st place.202 units in 10th place - a brief rebellion, however, which is ended by an almost devastating 450 cars in July and 389 units in August and 24th place among e-cars in each case .
The comparatively strong September comes with 608 Model 3s and E-car rank 17. However, the company is still miles away from its former heights.
Which doesn't mean, however, that there's no further to go: 303 new Model 3s in October are a new low for the time being, which fortunately wasn't worsened again in November with 416 entry-level Teslas.
In December things picked up again; 642 new registrations were recorded in the last month of the year.
Current Tesla market share in Germany
- Total market share: 1.74 %
- Market share among e-cars: 11.6%
In December 2024, a total of 224.700 cars of all drive types were newly registered, almost 7% less than in the same month last year. From Tesla's 3.905 vehicles, the proportion is unfortunately still only around 1.74%.
Calculated for the entire year 2024, Tesla is 37.574 new registrations with a market share of 1.34 % (approx. 2.8 million new registrations of all brands).
Considering only electric cars, Tesla's share jumps to around 11.6% in December 2024 (approx. 33.561 new registrations of all brands), which speaks less for Tesla than for a general e-car slump.
Tesla registration figures worldwide
- New Tesla registrations worldwide (2023): 1.808.581
- Registrations in Q3 2024: 462.900
Depending on the region, Tesla plays an even bigger role worldwide than in Germany. 1.3 million vehicles with the distinctive "T" were sold around the world in 2022, and Tesla is forecasting over 1.8 million vehicles delivered in 2023.
In 2024, there were 1.79 million new Teslas worldwide, so the decline on the international stage is much smaller than in Germany.
A special highlight here too: The Model Y. Over 2.5 million units ever sold make the crossover SUV the best-selling electric car in the world - although it is closely followed by the Model 3 with 2.3 million units.
