Unsurprisingly, the boom was led by the launch of the facelifted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-model-y\/\">Model Y<\/a>, which debuted this spring. The compact SUV has been the country\u2019s best-selling car for three-years running, and this May it took a chunky 16.5 percent market share.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/06\/tesla-brand-appeal-decline-ubs-poll\/\">The Once Unthinkable Has Happened To Tesla\u2019s Brand<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That was more than double the 7 percent of the second-place finisher, Toyota\u2019s bZ4X, and four times the VW ID.4\u2019s showing (4.2 percent). Tesla\u2019s overall performance in Norway was way beyond the healthy 39 percent sales uplift for all cars sold in the country last month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>The Norwegian government\u2019s pro-climate stance going back 25 years, despite being a huge oil exporter , has helped switch its population on to electric cars even though the country\u2019s winter weather shows off EVs in their worst light. Strong financial incentives and a huge number of available chargers created sufficient demand that Norway is now close to the 100 percent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">EV<\/a> goal in 2025 it set out to reach eight years ago.

In Sweden, which shares a border with Norway, Tesla sales sank by 54 percent to just 503 vehicles. In France, they were down 67 percent to 721 units, data from AAA says.<\/p>\n<p>European sales of Teslas halved as buyers shunned the brand that once dominated sales charts, becoming the first to outperform not just other EVs, but every combustion-engine car. The arrival of stronger competition, both from legacy brands and also Chinese newcomers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/byd\/\">BYD<\/a> is a factor, as is a certain level of disappointment that Tesla\u2019s facelifts to the Model 3 and Model Y don\u2019t go far enough.<\/p>\n<p>But another major reason for Tesla\u2019s weak sales is its declining brand image and public disgust at Musk\u2019s support for right-wing political parties such as Germany\u2019s AfD. In a March poll 94 percent of Germans said they would never buy a Tesla.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BEST SELLING BRANDS NORWAY MAY 2025<\/h5>\n<div class=\"table-container blue\">\n<div class=\"table-wrapper scrollbar-hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Brand<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Sales<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Market Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tesla<\/td>\n<td>2,600<\/td>\n<td>18.20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>VW<\/td>\n<td>1,914<\/td>\n<td>13.40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Toyota<\/td>\n<td>1,633<\/td>\n<td>11.50%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Volvo<\/td>\n<td>979<\/td>\n<td>6.90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BMW<\/td>\n<td>968<\/td>\n<td>6.80%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Audi<\/td>\n<td>662<\/td>\n<td>4.60%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Skoda<\/td>\n<td>623<\/td>\n<td>4.40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MG<\/td>\n<td>576<\/td>\n<td>4.00%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ford<\/td>\n<td>545<\/td>\n<td>3.80%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BYD<\/td>\n<td>517<\/td>\n<td>3.60%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">OFV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"info flex\">\n<div class=\"arrow left\">\n                        <span class=\"arrow-line\"><\/span><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"arrow-line\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n<p>                    <span>SWIPE<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"arrow right\">\n                        <span class=\"arrow-line\"><\/span><br \/>\n                        <span class=\"arrow-line\"><\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla sales have gone nuts in Norway, jumping 213 percent in May vs May 2024.
