Tesla takes Model X and Model S out of the program in Germany

If you want to buy a Model S or Y from Tesla in Germany, you can only buy demonstration vehicles (of the Model X) or used vehicles. Both luxury models are no longer configurable. A look at the sales figures shows that this is unlikely to bother anyone.

Tesla Model S and X with tiny sales

As Auto-Motor-Sport reported, Tesla has not only discontinued its luxury vehicles in Germany: They are also no longer configurable in Norway, the most important European electric car market, as well as in the UK.

One of the reasons for the removal of the vehicles from the range could be the low level of interest in the two models. While the Model Y is one of the best-selling electric cars, no one seems to want the more expensive vehicles.

Tesla is said to have sold just 58 Model S and 59 Model X in Germany in the first half of 2025. That would only be around ten vehicles per month. The Model Y achieved 6305 registrations in the same period.

Interest in the luxury models is also rather low worldwide: in the first six months of this year, the manufacturer delivered just under 23,300 Model S and X vehicles. Meanwhile, Tesla was able to sell 700,000 Model 3s and Ys globally in the same period. In April, Tesla suspended sales of its premium model in China.

Facelift for luxury Teslas in the USA

Meanwhile, sales of the more expensive models, which received a facelift in June of this year, are continuing in the USA. Compared to previous updates, the new features are rather restrained and focus on comfort, equipment, and appearance. In terms of battery and drive technology, the revised models retain largely the same equipment as the 2021 models.

At present, the car manufacturer does not appear to have any plans to bring the facelift versions to Europe. This is because the transition to new models at Tesla is usually seamless in the configurator.
