Tesla registered 1,763 vehicles in Germany in November, rebounding from October’s 750 units —the company’s lowest monthly total in over three years.
According to data released Wednesday by the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), EV market share in the German market stood at 22.2%.
The 135% sequential increase still left Tesla‘s November registrations down 20.2% from the 2,208 vehicles sold in November 2024, extending a pattern of year-over-year declines that has persisted throughout 2025.
Tesla has registered 17,358 vehicles in Germany from January through November, down 48.4% from 33,669 units in the same period last year.
Monthly registrations fell below 1,000 units for the first time in nearly three years in April 2025, when the company recorded 885 sales.
October’s 750-unit result represented the lowest monthly figure since the company began consistently selling over 1,000 vehicles per month starting in June 2022.
Tesla’s Updated Lineup
Tesla sells its four S, 3, X, and Y models in Germany, with the refreshed versions of the luxury Model S and Model X having been recently launched in Europe.
The refreshed Model Y is priced from €40,970 ($47,580), with the introduction of the Standard iteration in European markets in October. The Premium version starts €5,000 above.
Tesla announced earlier this week that production of the Model Y Standard has officially started at the company’s GigaFactory in Germany.
According to the local website, Model Y Standard deliveries are expected to begin from December in the country.
With the release of the new version of the best-selling SUV, its entry-level model is now priced the same as the cheapest Model 3 sedan.
Tesla recently introduced the refreshed versions of its flagship models in the region, after first debuting them in the US four months ago.
The Model X is priced from €115,970 ($133,300), while the Model S starts from €110,970 ($127,500).
EV Adoption in Germany
Battery electric vehicles continued to struggle in the German market, with registrations declining across most major EV-focused brands.
Smart registrations plummeted 49.6% in November and Polestar—despite an 88.9% year-over-year gain—registered just 393 vehicles for a 0.2% market share.
Germany registered 250,671 passenger vehicles in November, up 2.5% from the year-earlier period, according to KBA data released Wednesday.
