# Tesla Model Y remains the Sales King of California for the 4th year in a row

The Tesla Model Y has earned the title of best-selling vehicle in California for the fourth year in a row.

According to the final sales figures from the California New Car Dealers Association, the Model Y outsold its nearest competitor, the Toyota Rav 4, by almost 45,000 units.

The Model 3 also ranked in the top five, placing fourth in total sales in 2025.

Taken in a vacuum, Tesla continues to lead the way in individual sales and has strong overall brand sales as well. However, when you look back, you start to see a downward trend for the automaker. 2025 sales numbers mark the third straight year of decline in Tesla’s overall sales.

A few factors are contributing to the decline in EV sales for Tesla, including the end of the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs by the Trump Administration and increased competition from Korean and North American automakers in the EV niche. Least to say, 2026 will be a pivotal year for Tesla on the west coast.
