Based on these numbers, 8,473 Teslas were purchased in Norway last year. Among Tesla vehicles sold in Norway in 2021, the Model 3 was the most popular choice. In 2021, the Tesla Model 3 was Norway’s most widely purchased automobile.

How widespread is the appeal of Tesla cars?
As was previously said, Tesla automobiles enjoy widespread acclaim. In 2021, two Tesla models were predicted to be among the top 20 best-selling automobiles in the United States. The Model Y and the Model 3 are their namesake models.
Because Tesla only reports its worldwide sales totals, no Tesla vehicles were included. Despite this, 14% of all EV sales in the globe in 2019 were of Tesla Model 3s. Back in 2019, Tesla was able to sell 300,075 Model 3s. In 2019, the Tesla Model 3 outsold its nearest competition by almost 100,000 automobiles.
Emerging Markets
- India is opening up: The Model Y has launched its first showroom in Mumbai, featuring the Model Y at ₹60–68 Lakh (₹60–68 Lakh, post-tax. With a new 15% import tariff incentive for investments, Tesla may sell ~50,000 units annually by 2030 if it captures 10% of India’s EV market.
- Expanding Europe’s presence: Even amid declines, Tesla is testing driverless ride-hailing in Austin and releasing refreshed Model Y variants in China to mirror global strategy.
