Tesla “Model Y” beats “Volkswagen Golf” as best-selling car in ‎Germany

Tesla’s Model Y has overtaken the Volkswagen Golf to become the best-selling car in Germany, while the Model 3 also takes the lead in its class.

According to Notebookcheck, the Tesla Model Y has surpassed the Volkswagen Golf by nearly 3,000 registrations, becoming the best-selling car in Germany; just a few months after production of the electric SUV began at Tesla’s new plant in Berlin. Moreover, the Tesla Model 3 is still very popular in Europe’s second most populous country.

The Volkswagen Golf was an absolute success as it was one of the best-selling cars in Germany for several decades. But in the emerging age of electric cars, Volkswagen’s best-selling vehicles have to face some new and fierce all-electric competitors.

According to a statistic recently published by the German Federal Transport Authority, the Tesla Model Y has now replaced the Volkswagen Golf as the best-selling car in the most important European market for automakers.
