Tesla's October registrations in Germany nearly quadruple — KBA, 2,932 units
Germany's KBA counted 2,932 new Tesla registrations in October, up 290.9% year over year — year-to-date 47,742 (+206.1%) leaves Tesla in a near tie with BYD (47,961).
Data from Germany's KBA, reported by Reuters and Teslarati, show Tesla registered 2,932 new cars in Germany in October, up 290.9% from a year earlier. That is 1.2% of the 254,492 passenger cars registered in the country that month.
January–October registrations reached 47,742, up 206.1%. BYD outsold Tesla in October alone (5,173 units, 2% share) and is slightly ahead year to date (47,961). Germany's battery-electric registrations rose 79.5% to 94,086, a 37% market share.
The figures extend the October surge already reported in Italy, Portugal and Northern Europe. The comparison base — a weak October 2025 — inflates the percentage, which is worth keeping in mind.
