Tesla‘s registrations in Norway soared 53.8% year over year to 5,646 electric vehicles last month, data from the Norwegian Road Federation (OFV) showed on Tuesday.
Compared with the 2,600 vehicles sold in May, June figures doubled setting the best month of the year for the brand in the Nordic market.
The figures showed it was Tesla‘s second best month since it entered Norway in 2019 and the strongest one since March 2023, when it sold 7,915 units.
In the first half of the year, Tesla sales in Norway totaled 13,039 units, a rise of 24.2% from the 10,498 units recorded in the same period a year ago.
The Model Y accounted for 5,004 of the total vehicles registered last month, which represented 88.6% of the sales.
The refreshed version, unveiled late last year, started being delivered in Norway in March. Since then, monthly registrations of the vehicle doubled sequentially from April to June.
Tesla‘s Model Y is priced from 476,996 NOK ($47,200), while the Model 3 sedan, which represented 639 of the vehicles sold, has prices starting at 354,919 NOK ($35,100).

Both offers have no expiration date, according to the website.
The brand’s lineup in Norway includes the Model S and Model X, which are only available through inventory units.
Tesla announced the refreshed versions of its flagship models in June. Tesla was spotted Model S in the Nürburgring track in May, however, there is no timeline set for the European launch of the models.
For customers purchasing the previous iteration, Tesla is offering free Supercharging and Premium Connectivity.
As the OFV only discloses the top 20 vehicles sold, it does not show Model X and Model S registrations.
According to data from Elbilstatistikk, Tesla sold one Model X and three Model S units in June.
