Tesla’s new car registrations in Norway jumped by 213% year-on-year in May, reaching 2,600 vehicles, boosted by strong demand for the revamped Model Y SUV.
Tesla saw a dramatic rebound in Norway last month, with May sales rising 213% compared to the same period last year, according to data released Monday. The surge, totaling 2,600 vehicles, was largely attributed to the popularity of the updated Model Y — Norway’s best-selling car for the third consecutive year.

In an effort to boost deliveries amid wider European sales challenges, Tesla is offering zero-interest financing to Norwegian buyers who take delivery of a new Model Y before the end of June. Similar offers are being extended to customers in several other European markets.
