In China, as a pioneer of pure electric vehicles, Tesla Model 3 has captured the hearts of most people with its high-tech intelligent configuration and excellent performance attributes. Buying a Tesla not only means appreciating its exquisite appearance, but also its powerful autonomous driving functions. The emergence of pure electric vehicles has also received unanimous praise.
Not only is it selling well in China, it has also become a trend in the European market, particularly in the UK. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) in the UK announced the sales report for Model 3 in the UK car market in June, selling a total of 5,468 units, making it the best-selling car in the UK. Its closest competitor was the Volkswagen Golf, which lagged behind by 839 units. This level of sales shows that people around the world have a very high acceptance of new energy vehicles. In addition, in June, pure electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles in the UK increased by 100% compared to the same period last year.
Moreover, the sales of Tesla Model 3 in France are also very good. According to data released by the statistics company AAA Data, Tesla Model 3 sold 13,084 units in France in the first half of 2021, ranking first in sales. This performance exceeded the sales of 10,797 Renault Zoe and 9,133 Peugeot e-208. It can be seen that the sales of Tesla Model 3 in France are also very high, and the model sold 5,000 pure electric cars in June alone.
In the French car market, sales have always favored domestic brands such as Renault and Peugeot. Renault and Peugeot’s electric vehicles have performed well in the French electric vehicle market, but compared to the Model 3, even the popular Zoe and e-208 were ultimately surpassed by its American competitor.
