Tesla is depending on the Model 3, since being on sale in the US it has quickly become one of the most popular passenger cars on sale in the market and the sales figures are putting the rest of the car industry to shame.

But more importantly, this week Tesla has had the Model 3 green-lighted and approved for sale in Europe. The news came from a report from Bloomberg on Monday.

For early preorder holders, the wait has been a long one. The Model 3 was first announced back in 2016, nearly three years ago and some customers preordered shortly after the announcement.

Deliveries

Deliveries in Europe should start sometime in February, but only for the Long Range model, which is the same version sold in US when the car went on sale initially.
