Elon Musk's company recently sold more Model Ys than Volkswagen sold Golfs. This puts the e-car back in the lead.

Tesla's Model Y was the best-selling car in Europe in November 2022. This is shown by new figures reported by Automotive News Europe and T3N. This means that Elon Musk's company once again displaced Volkswagen from the top spot, with the best Volkswagen only coming in eighth place on the European list.

Automotive house Jato ranked Tesla first on the list, followed by Dacia, Toyota and Fiat. In terms of purely electric cars, Tesla is logically also in the lead, with the Model 3 also taking second place. It is followed by two VW vehicles from the ID series.

The Tesla Model Y had already taken the top spot in September. At that time, the e-car was the best-selling car in Europe with 10,000 new registrations. Here, too, Tesla had already displaced Volkswagen, but had to cope with a sharp decline in October. Due to delivery problems, Tesla slipped out of almost all rankings at the time.
