The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in the UK last month, followed closely by its Tesla Model 3 sibling, amid a backdrop of declining registrations caused by ongoing supply-chain issues.
Tesla registered 6464 examples of the SUV and 6457 of the saloon, both some way ahead of the Vauxhall Corsa in third place, with 5515, and the Nissan Qashqai in fourth, with 5401.

Well, I'm not too sure many will actually be left after your typical 3 year lease. Most will disintegrate after a matter of months. On the other hand, Of the few that may survive, they will likely fall into the hands of urchins that dwell on Council estates.
well, you must then visit fleurdsign.
Meanwhile, thousands of Jaguar I-PACE drivers, simply cruise by, pitying those 6464 victims. Cruise by in premium luxury, opulence and total silence.
Buy a Tesla, buy a liability. Buy a Jaguar, buy a premium experience. An exquisite piece of car design, solid, reliable through and through.
Are you on drugs?
sounds like the rantings of a complete maniac! You sure get some nutters on these car websites
Just curious who's going to be able to afford all these Teslas when they come off lease and are available secondhand with no BIK or subsidies, unlike when they were new?
Me I suppose, if I wanted one. But a used Tesla appeals about as much as a used washing machine or fridge.
Shame your bigoted views don't let you go and try one then. I had a last generation 3 Series, and then a Model 3. The Model 3 is way better in most regards. So explain why a used Tesla is a problem, and is like a washing machine? Just an uninformed view typed like verbal diahorrea without having tried one. Now a top 10 selling car month after month in the UK, so it seems plenty of people are stupid to buy one according to you.
I am in total agreement with you. The model 3 is now a well built car and my wife is now on her second one with significantly superior build from her first one. ( which she sold within 2 days of putting it up for sale on Autotrader ) I think its a wonderful car and those dinosaurs who havent tried one need to try one or at least stop talking crap when they havent even tried one. Laughable twits.
I did try one Paul, and I didn't like it. It was a characterless touchscreen-on-wheels. And I never said Tesla buyers were stupid - a lot of people just want mobility appliances, and I don't doubt they're happy with them.
Same people who buy the used Audi's, BMW's, and Merc's. Like it or not the Model 3 is a damned good car.
I wasn't questioning how good they were, widely acclaimed.
i was more curious how so many people can afford £40k+ cars in this country.
Ah - making the assumption that because you can't afford one nobody else can. The car market is full of used high value premium cars that don't seem to have any trouble finding homes
