Tesla’s (TSLA - Free Report) Model Y and Model 3 continue to dominate electric vehicle sales in the United Kingdom with about two weeks left in the year by a wide margin, per Teslarati.
The Model Y leads with 18,890 units sold so far this year, followed by the Model 3 at 16,361, per data from EU-EVs. The closest competitor, the Audi Q4 e-tron, trails well behind at 10,287 units, though it still outpaces models such as the BMW i4 and Audi Q6 e-tron.
While the Model Y has performed strongly worldwide, it has been especially dominant in major markets like Europe and the United States. Its appeal has long stemmed from a blend of premium features, interior space and an emphasis on sustainability that aligns closely with consumer preferences.
Both Tesla models are expected to post lower sales than in 2024, per Teslarati. Last year, the Model Y topped the U.K. market with 32,610 units sold, while the Model 3 reached 17,272 units, which puts this year’s Model 3 sales roughly in line with last year’s pace.
Overall, Tesla sold 50,090 vehicles in the United Kingdom in 2024, but is currently about 8,000 units behind that pace. The company’s market share has also declined from 13.2% last year to 9.6% with two weeks left in 2025. Even so, Tesla remains the market leader, ahead of Volkswagen’s 8% share.
