IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.
“Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?”
“Nah, I have ethics.”
“They will be more expensive next year though”
Runs to the dealership
I think we underestimate how much the public cares… Reddit/Lemmy tend to be a very big echo chambers and we’ve seen several big events where online discource was completely at odds with reality. It still doesn’t explain how the increase. Because up until today, I believed Europe stopped buying them, but then the figures pedalled are fucking fake. Not sure how your place does it, but here the year of the car is on a reg plate… I see a lot of new teslas, far more than any other EV. I’ve seen couple of Renault 5s! Those are cool. But in the +40k mark? Just teslas. Despite allegedly MG making a Tesla killer a year ago, I’ve yet to see a single one.
Yeah, the numbers for Norway are when the cars are registered, which happens when they arrive at the dealer. Since Tesla ships their cars in large batches, the numbers are difficult to compare.
I’m (unfortunately) certain that most of the decline in sales will disappear once the first big delivery of 2026 comes ashore.
Look. I know Norway be cool in this, but I’m actually kind of shocked at just 93%.
So what is it for the year then?
If I’m reading your comment correctly, if they have no delivery that month… Their “sales” would be pretty much 0.
So why the fuck are we cherry picking numbers unrepresentative of reality? This is some right wing type of shit.
Oh that’s why:
2024: 24,259 new Tesla cars registered in Norway. 2025: 34,285 new Tesla cars registered in Norway.

Got no clue on reliability of the source, but there’s 3 on top of my search seem to line up.

The sentiment I see on various Facebook groups (dad Facebook) is that Tesla is still best value for money when it comes to EVs.
But yeah people bought cars in December because of tax reasons (basically 5k usd extra tax on cars above 50k)

Looking at 24 vs 25, numbers don’t lie
