Tesla’s fortunes are on the rise in Ireland, with vehicle registrations climbing year-over-year during the first two months of 2025. Tesla was able to accomplish this despite facing a steep sales decline across several markets in Europe.
Tesla Ireland’s Results So Far
From January to February 2025, a total of 539 Teslas hit Irish roads, a 2.86% improvement from the 524 vehicles that were registered during the same period last year, as per data from MotorStats Ireland. Quite interestingly, Tesla Ireland’s momentum was driven largely by the reengineered Model 3, which comprised the majority of the electric vehicle maker’s sales in the country.
Over the first two months of 2025, Tesla Ireland saw 428 registrations for the reengineered Model 3, a 42.67% year-over-year improvement over the 300 that were registered in the same period last year. The Model Y accounted for the remaining 111 registrations.
The Model Y Classic Factor
Tesla Ireland’s results from January to February 2025 are quite interesting, since during this period, the electric vehicle maker was mostly focused on clearing out its inventory of Model Y classic units. This was likely the primary driver behind the Model Y’s year-over-year decline of 50.45% in Ireland from January to February 2025.
With this in mind, it would not be too farfetched to suggest that Tesla Ireland’s sales figures may become even more impressive in the coming months, as the new Model Y is introduced to the market.
UK Joins Ireland
Ireland isn’t alone in boosting Tesla’s numbers. The United Kingdom reported a 20% sales increase in February, with nearly 4,000 Model 3 and Model Y vehicles sold, as per data from The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Both markets stand in stark contrast to other European countries, where the company’s sales have taken a notable hit.
