The TeslaModel 3 was the UK's best-selling car in June 2021, beating out other electric and combustion engine cars.Considering the Model 3 is more expensive than the other vehicles listed, that's a remarkable feat.Teslacontinues to cement itself as the most in-demand automaker.

UK sales figures for June 2021

Below are UK sales figures for June 2021.I also took the liberty of taking the approximate cost per vehicle (using the cheapest Model 3 and other vehicles as my prices) from various web sources including bloomberg.com, autotrader.com, and uk.motor1.com.

UK car sales in June 2021

9: BMW 3 Series	3,048	$49,196
10: Kia Sportage	2,947	$27,005

Although the Tesla Model 3 is more expensive than the other 7 cars, it is the best seller.Very impressive.Also worth noting is that Volkswagen has 2 in the top 10, which I think bodes well for them.

Where will Tesla be in the future

Considering the Giga Berlin isn't live yet, I think Tesla is doing very well in the UK.In fact, I think Tesla could make a mini Giga factory in the UK to make vehicle deliveries easier.I think this is due to the geographical distance of exporting from Shanghai to the UK.

If Giga Berlin can increase its production capacity to 500,000 cars within a year, it will exceed 41,000 cars per month.No doubt some of them will be shipped to the UK, unless Germany and surrounding countries have such high demand and can afford Tesla vehicles.
