Tesla's Model Y was Sweden's most popular vehicle for the second year in a row in 2024. This signals an optimal turn for environmentalism as the popularity of electric vehicles means a move away from dirty energy and cleaner air worldwide.
Teslarati explained that Tesla's zero-interest program was a key selling point for the EVs.
