# Tesla Model Y becomes Colombia’s top-selling car amid 304% EV surge

Model Y Standard interior

Tesla’s Model Y became the best-selling vehicle in Colombia in March 2026 with 1,791 units delivered — just two months after the automaker’s first deliveries in the country.

The achievement is part of an explosive EV market transformation in Colombia, where electric vehicle registrations surged 304% in April to 5,192 units. But Tesla is already running into trouble with Colombian regulators over delivery delays and misleading claims about its Supercharger network.

## From zero to number one in two months

Tesla officially launched in Colombia in November 2025, opening orders for the Model 3 starting at 109 million Colombian pesos (~$29,400 USD) and the Model Y at roughly 120 million COP (~$32,000 USD). First deliveries began in late January 2026.

The ramp was immediate. Tesla delivered over 5,400 vehicles in its first few months of operations, and the Model Y claimed the top spot among all vehicles sold in the country in March — not just among EVs, but all cars. That makes Colombia one of Tesla’s fastest new-market ramps ever.
