Tesla‘s UK sales increased both sequentially and year over year to 7,719 vehicles in June, recording its best sales month year to date.
According to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) released on Friday, registrations nearly tripled from the 2,016 units sold in May.
Year over year, sales increased by 14.2%.
The Elon Musk-led company previously hit its highest sales in 2025 with 7,164 vehicles sold in March.
Figures traditionally surge in the final month of each quarter due to the logistical timing of shipments and deliveries from Tesla’s GigaBerlin and GigaShanghai factories.
The brand’s lineup in the island includes the Model 3 sedan, which is priced from £39,990 ($54,100).
The entry-level trim of the refreshed Tesla Model Y is priced from £44,990 ($60,800) while the long-range rear wheel drive and the long-range all wheel drive start from £48,990 ($66,200) and £51,990 ($70,300), respectively.
Both Tesla’s Model Y and Model 3 were among the best-selling models in the country. The refreshed SUV accounted for 4,181 units, ranking third across all powertrains, while the sedan represented over 3,500 vehicles, ranking sixth.
Last month, the brand still featured Model X and Model S units, in left-had drive and through inventory units, in its British website.
The company discontinued production of right-hand drive units of the two models, as it prepared to unveil refreshed iterations of its flagship sedan and SUV.
Despite generally showing year over year declines, Tesla set new sales records in several European countries last month.

British consumers preferred new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in June — petrol and diesel vehicles represented 98,745 units, or 51.6% of the vehicles sold in the island.
Nearly 92,600 of the registrations were NEVs. Battery electric vehicles (BEV) had a market share of 24.8% with 47,354 units sold, up 39.1% from the same period a year ago.
