Car sales in June: – “Children’s ski race” for Tesla Model Y

–

Because in June, more than one in five registered electric cars was a Tesla Model Y, something we must be able to call a big slam.

This was more than VW ID. 4 and Skoda Enyaq – number two and three on the list – together. The former is by the way the closest candidate to compete with Model Y for the title of Best Seller of the Year, even though the leap is already large in favor of Tesla. But there is still half a year left.

However, there is a small catch in the June figures, because as we know, we are talking about registration statistics here, not delivery statistics. It has now become known that Tesla has a number of cars that have already been registered, and a similar number of customers who have not had their cars delivered anyway.

The reason is that Tesla has discovered a fault with one or both engines in the Tesla Model Y Performance, and has therefore detained the cars that were not already delivered, even though they are registered to the customers. We still have no reason to believe that we are talking about very many, and as long as you always measure results by the number of registered cars, the statistics remain the same.

Tesla is also not alone in having cars that need to be fixed before they can be delivered. Toyota has registered 47 copies of the bZ4X, most of which were probably intended for dealers, and there have been twelve Subaru Solterra, which probably have the same challenge, as it is the same car as the bZ4X. Ford has also had copies of the Ford Mustang that may need an update, but this is supposed to be in place.

We congratulate Tesla on this month’s most and half of the year’s most registered car. Then it remains to be seen if it can last the year.

Here are the top 50 in June.
