Not only did Tesla outsell all other electric cars in Australia last year, it outsold a whole lot of conventional cars as well.
that EVs accounted for 2.4% of new car sales in Australia last year, with Tesla leading all other EV brands by a wide margin. Today, we learned there is more to the story. Tesla does not normally share its sales data by country, but it agreed to work with Australia’s Electric Vehicle Council. The data show that Tesla sold 15,054 Model 3 sedans in that country last year.
Okay, what does that mean? Take a gander at the sales numbers for other manufacturers Down Under last year:Volvo — 9,028 cars across six modelsIn addition, sales of the Model 3 last year were in shouting distance of the sales of several well known global brands:The numbers show the Tesla Model 3 is the best selling car of all in the medium size sedan segment and is within a few thousand sales of shoving aside the likes of.
“The big message is that Model 3 sales numbers show that Australians want EVs and other carmakers can also sell EVs with one secret ingredient — make a good car at a good price point but make it available to customers,” Jafari says. To buy a Tesla, all a driver needs to do is go to the website and order it. Tesla will deliver — with sometimes a three month wait — but deliver they do.
Traditional carmakers only make a few hundred cars available for an entire year. As a result, the Ioniq 5 sold out within hours in late 2021, Polestar also now has a long waiting list for its Polestar 2, and Kia says it has just 500 of its new EV6 available for sale in 2022. “What I’m very confident about is Australia doesn’t have a demand problem, it has a supply problem,” says Jafari.
