Tesla said on Wednesday it now has 100,000 vehicles on Danish roads, a milestone reached as registrations in one of its Nordic markets run well ahead of last year.
“There are now 100,000 Teslas on the road in Denmark,” Tesla‘s Europe, Middle East and Africa account posted on X on September 23.
The post did not break down the figure by model or year of registration.
The count is based on Bilstatistik data and also includes used imports, according to Tesla, so it is not a tally of new cars sold in Denmark.
It makes roughly one in seven of Denmark’s approximately 700,000 electric cars a Tesla.
Tesla put its Danish fleet at more than 84,000 in June 2025.
Tesla registered 7,691 vehicles in Denmark from January through August, up 68.7% from 4,558 in the same period of 2025, according to official data from Bilstatistik.
Near Last Year’s Total
Daily data compiled by EU-EVs show Tesla registered 1,401 vehicles in Denmark between September 1 and September 23, up 32.7% from the same elapsed period a year earlier.
Tesla led the EU-EVs ranking of electric-car brands with a 12.3% share of electric-car registrations, ahead of Toyota at 1,081 units and Volkswagen at 1,073.
Model 3 topped the model ranking at 832 units, up 340.2% year on year. Model Y followed at 569, down 34.4%, ahead of the Skoda Elroq at 441.
September 2025 was Tesla’s strongest month in Denmark last year, at 2,232 units.
With a week of the month remaining, this September’s partial count stands at 62.8% of that total.
Combining the EU-EVs September count with Bilstatistik’s monthly figures puts Tesla’s 2026 Danish total at 9,092 units. The two sources use different methods, so the combined figure is an estimate until September’s official data is published.
Full-year 2025 registrations reached 9,454, leaving a gap of 362 units.
Third-quarter registrations stand at 2,876 units through September 23, against 3,040 for the full third quarter of 2025.
Before and After FSD Approval
Denmark provisionally approved FSD (Supervised) on June 9, becoming the fourth European country to clear the system.
Færdselsstyrelsen, the Danish Road Traffic Authority, accepted the Dutch type approval after reviewing its technical documentation, and stressed the system does not make a car self-driving.
Danish registrations were already climbing before the decision.
Tesla registered 4,438 vehicles from January through May, up 79.8% from 2,468 a year earlier.
March rose 144.0% to 1,447 units, and May gained 136.3% to 1,751.
Growth continued after approval at a slower combined pace.
June rose 38.7% to 1,778 units, July gained 51.6% to 508, and August more than doubled to 967 from 473, a 104.4% increase.
June through August reached 3,253 registrations, up 55.6% from 2,090.
Model Y was Denmark’s best-selling car of any kind in June at 1,355 units, and ranked second in August at 693, behind the Elroq, according to bilstatistik.dk data.
EV found earlier this month that FSD approvals across six EU markets had no visible effect on sales.
Monthly data cannot separate the software from the refreshed Model Y, local incentives and weak 2025 comparisons.
Tesla replaced the one-time FSD purchase in Denmark, previously priced at DKK 58,300 ($9,000), with a subscription in May. It costs DKK 750 ($115) a month.
Additionally, in August Tesla offered two-month trials to owners in approved markets.
Best European Week of 2026
Denmark’s September count comes as Tesla posts its strongest weekly European figures of the year, according to X user ‘piloly’, who compiles daily and weekly registration data.
Tesla recorded 11,100 sales in the week of September 14 to 20 across ten daily or weekly reporting markets, up 73.5% from the prior week and 101.6% from the same week of 2025, piloly said.
The markets are the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Iceland, which piloly estimates account for about 60% of Tesla’s European sales.
After 12 weeks, third-quarter sales in those markets were down 6.5% from the second quarter and up 7.5% year on year, according to the same data.
Year-to-date sales were up 14.8%.
Supply is rising alongside the quarter-end push.
GigaBerlin scheduled mandatory special shifts in September to lift weekly Model Y output from fewer than 6,500 units to 7,500 by mid-October, according to an internal email reported by Handelsblatt.
October 6 Vote
Seven EU countries have now cleared FSD (Supervised) through national recognition of the Dutch approval.
The Netherlands approved first on April 10, followed by Lithuania on May 20, Estonia on May 29, Denmark on June 9, Belgium on June 10 and Slovenia on September 7.
Czechia’s Ministry of Transport recognised the Dutch approval on September 21, having declined to do so in July.
EU-wide recognition requires a qualified majority in the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles of at least 15 of the 27 member states, representing 65% of the bloc’s population.
Tesla has said the vote could come on October 6, after the committee’s June 30 meeting ended without one.
Denmark was among the Nordic states cited by Reuters as having raised objections to FSD at European level before approving the system nationally.
Sweden’s Transport Agency has recommended a vote against unless Tesla removes a feature letting drivers set a margin above posted speed limits. The Swedish government said on September 1 that it supports EU-wide approval.
Ahead of the vote, Tesla published a safety dashboard on September 1.
Its headline figures draw on about 3 billion kilometres of Tesla driving in 2025 and 100 million kilometres of FSD (Supervised) on EU roads.
Færdselsstyrelsen has said a rejection by the Commission would invalidate the Dutch provisional approval after six months, and the Danish clearance would lapse with it.
The seven approving countries hold just under 12% of the EU’s population.
