<p>The Tesla Model Y electric vehicle from <strong>Tesla Inc</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) might not win title of Europe's bestselling vehicle for a second straight year, ending a short reign <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/electric-vehicles">for electric vehicles.</a></p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>The Model Y broke records for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36768363/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-model-y-a-global-bestseller-next-gen-vehicle-upd">electric vehicles in 2023</a> and became the first EV to be the bestselling car globally for a full year. In Europe, it was the bestseller for 2023.</p>
<p>While the Model Y was Europe's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/11/35969553/tesla-model-y-is-likely-bestselling-vehicle-in-europe-for-2023-the-record-breaking-numbers-why-its-i">top seller in 2023,</a> a repeat now appears unlikely.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.autonews.com/retail/sales/ane-europe-top50-november-2024/#:~:text=The%20Tesla%20Model%20Y%20will,as%20Europe's%20top%2Dselling%20car.">data </a>from Automotive News Europe, the Model Y now ranks behind the Dacia Sandero, an internal combustion engine hatchback from French company <strong>Renault</strong>.</p>
<p>The data, shared by <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/12/19/tesla-model-y-likely-to-lose-its-crown-as-top-selling-car-in-europe-to-dacia-sandero/">Electrek</a>, shows that the Model Y ranks sixth through the month of November. </p>
<p>The Sandero led the way in November with 21,506 vehicles sold, with the Volkswagen Tiguan second at 18,618.</p>
<p>Year-to-date, the Model Y has 181,781 units sold in Europe, which ranks around 65,000 units behind the Dacia Sandero.</p>
<p>Tesla is offering several incentives through the end of year that could push the vehicle higher up the list, including a year of free charging at Tesla Supercharger locations to anyone who buys a Model Y before the end of the calendar year.</p>
<p>The BYD Song from <strong>BYD Co</strong> (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>) is mentioned as a top performer for the year with sales up 42% year-over-year.</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Why It's Important</strong>: With a price point of $13,051, the Dacia Sandero is more appealing to many consumers in Europe looking for a less expensive new car and not willing to spend a higher amount to get an electric vehicle.</p>
<p>Tesla taking the top spot in Europe in 2023 was a great storyline for electric vehicles, but could be hard to replicate without cheaper EV models hitting the country. The Model Y refresh named Juniper and likely coming in 2025, could see Model Y figures get a boost worldwide in 2025.</p>
<p><strong>TSLA Price Action: </strong>Tesla stock was down 3% to $421.06 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $488.54. Tesla stock is up 70% year-to-date in 2024.</p>
