Tesla Raises Model Y Prices by €1,000 in Several European Markets

Tesla has raised prices for the Model Y SUV by around €1,000 across different trims in several European markets, including Norway, France, the Netherlands, and Germany. The adjustments were first noted on Wednesday, according to reports. The company has not issued an official statement on the price changes.

The Model Y is manufactured in the United States, China, and Europe, with production in Europe occurring at the Grünheide factory outside Berlin. It is the only Tesla model currently produced in Europe.

In Norway, prices increased by NOK 10,000, equivalent to about €900 before VAT, across all trims. The rear-wheel drive version now starts at NOK 399,990, up from NOK 389,990 when it launched in October. The premium rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive trims are priced at NOK 479,990 and NOK 509,990, respectively.

Tesla is the top-selling brand in Norway, where electric vehicles accounted for over 98% of sales last month. The Model Y is the best-selling model in the country. In Denmark, prices rose by DKK 5,000, with the base model now at DKK 304,990. In Germany, the refreshed Model Y starts at €39,990 for the standard variant, with deliveries expected in August or September, a wait of four to five months.

The premium rear-wheel drive trim is now €50,990, and the all-wheel drive version is €53,990, reflecting a €6,000 gap from the base model. Tesla's sales in Germany quadrupled year-over-year and sequentially last month, reaching a high not seen since 2022.

In the Netherlands, the standard Model Y increased by €1,000 to €40,990, with premium trims at €51,990 and €54,990. Tesla recorded its first year-over-year sales increase of the year in March, with first-quarter registrations at 2,662 units, down from 3,446 in the first quarter of 2025.

Electric vehicle sales in the Netherlands have been impacted by policy changes effective January 2026, replacing a motor vehicle tax exemption with a 30% discount, set to decrease to 25% in 2029 and end in 2030. In France, prices rose across all four trims, with the base model at €40,990 and the premium long-range version at €46,990.

Tesla registered 9,569 vehicles last month, tripling the figure from a year ago, following a slump in 2025.

Tesla registered 79,539 vehicles across Europe in the first quarter, with 53,545 in March alone, nearly tripling February's 17,820. The price increases occur as sales regain momentum in the region. The Dutch vehicle authority approved Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software this month, with the first update rolling out to customers in the Netherlands last week.

A vote on EU-wide approval is expected between May and June, with rollout anticipated during the summer.
