It's a bit amusing to see sales numbers in a small country. A bit over 1000 Tesla Model Y's were sold, and it's big news.
Tesla is selling maybe 14-15,000 Model Y per month in the U.S., which puts it roughly in the 20 to 25th most sold model. It's comparable to the ICE-only Mazda CX-5.

(A lot of models do not yet have July/August numbers.)
Of course, in the U.S., the top 3 selling models in June were Silverado, Ram and F-Series, adding up to about 155,000 vehicles that month.
- gspr 5y agoThe big news obviously lies in the percentages. 5 million people is a small market, but not small enough that these market shares are statistical anomalies.
- LysPJ 5y agoAgreed. The adoption rate is even higher in Oslo. I've seen some residential streets where 80% of the parked vehicles are EVs.
- drcross 5y agoIf you're only amused by this you're failing to see that when Tesla are less supply constrained (with the opening of two further factories this year) that they will go on to sell significantly more.
- neogodless 5y agoObviously the incentives and taste in vehicles differs between Norway and the U.S. What's clear is that Ford and likely Tesla would do very well to produce capable EV pick-up trucks in high quantities. So far, Ford's plans for production are quite low - less than 20,000 planned for 2022.
- ericmay 5y agoYea but keep in mind two things: A Model Y costs significantly more than a Mazda CX-5. Tesla is dealing with supply constraints (sure others are too). Model Y long range is estimated delivery in January.
