Fast Technology July 23 news, recently, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) said that in the first four months of this year, 30 European countries sold a total of 559733 electric vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 37%. In the same period, European fuel vehicle sales were only 550391 units, down 0.5% year-on-year. This also means that electric vehicles have completed a historic surpass on fuel vehicles in the European market.

And Tesla Europe's official account released the news: "Tesla Model Y is the highest sales model in all categories in Europe in the first half of the year."

According to the latest report by market research agency Counterpoint Research, the European electric vehicle market sales in the first quarter of 2023 increased by more than 13% year-on-year, and the Model Y was the best-selling electric vehicle model in Europe in the first quarter.

Not only that, in the 2022 "Global Pure Electric Vehicle Sales Ranking" released by overseas media, Tesla Model Y became the world's best-selling electric vehicle in 2022 with 747,500 units.

At this year's Tesla shareholder meeting, Tesla CEO Musk said that Model Y will become the world's best-selling model in 2023, and he has enough confidence in this.

On July 20, Tesla CEO Musk publicly stated that he would further reduce the price of electric vehicles, although his full-scale price war against competitors squeezed the company's own profits, according to Tesla's financial report for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, its overall gross profit was $4.533 billion, with a gross margin of 18.19%, a new low since 2020.

In the second half of this year, if Tesla's price continues to fall, it remains to be seen whether its sales can surpass the first half of the year and continue to win the title of the world's best-selling electric car.
