Among Tesla’s priorities at hand, the construction of the Berlin Gigafactory must be at the forefront. The recently released 2021 car sales data for the German market show that although the Berlin Gigafactory has not yet been put into production, Tesla’s electric vehicle sales in the country have beaten all German local brands.
Specifically, Model 3 is the best-selling electric car in the German market, followed by Volkswagen e-Up, Volkswagen ID.3, Renault Zoe, Mercedes-Benz smart EQ For Two, Hyundai Kona pure electric vehicle, and Skoda Enyaq pure electric vehicle. , Volkswagen ID.4, Fiat 500e and BMW i3.
In addition, in terms of total sales of all models in Germany last year, all German brands declined, among which Mercedes-Benz fell by 25.7%. In stark contrast, Tesla sold 39,000 vehicles, an increase of 137% year-over-year.
It is believed that after the Berlin Gigafactory is put into operation, the new energy storm represented by Tesla will further sweep the European market, making life more difficult for traditional fuel brands that have been slow to transform.
