There is no question that Tesla has seen huge earnings in recent months and Europe is largely to thank for these driving sales. While North America might still have its skeptics when it comes to electric vehicles, it’s safe to say that Europeans have embraced these vehicles with open arms. In fact, Teslas have become so popular in Europe that it’s difficult to go out and not spot one. So, what’s behind this explosion in Tesla sales in Europe? Let’s take a closer look!

Europeans are Environmentally Conscious

We can start with the obvious: electric cars are better for the environment and many European countries have a genuine interest in the well-being of the environment. They are proud to purchase a vehicle that is reducing air pollution and the government encourages people to buy them by selling these vehicles tax-free. This is part of the government’s plan for making these European countries as green as possible. 

They are Convenient

In many European countries, patrons get to enjoy the luxury of free parking with an electric vehicle. These cars are also very efficient, making them ideal for handling the sometimes busy roadways in Europe. Furthermore, because of their popularity, there are charging stations everywhere in Europe making it easy for Tesla owners to recharge their vehicles. 

They are Cheaper

Although Teslas aren’t exactly cheap vehicles, they might actually end up saving you money in the long run. For starters, it is completely free to charge them so Tesla drivers don’t have to worry about extravagant gasoline prices. In addition, some European countries even offer purchase incentives and pay for part of the cost of the vehicle as part of their environmental resource plan. Tesla owners also save money on taxes and registration fees since the vehicle is electric and drivers can even avoid tolls in some European cities. 

The reason for Tesla’s shipping explosion in Europe is simple…the government has set out to have only electric vehicles on the road in the next 20 years. This is part of their initiative to create a greener and more environmentally friendly countries. As a result, the government has offered numerous perks to entice people to purchase Teslas and some countries have even begun phasing out fossil fuels. As Europe moves further and further away from diesel vehicles, we can only expect to see continuous growth for Tesla in this part of the world. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest Answers to Your Car Shipping Questions

Yes, we always ask for your specific pickup and delivery addresses, if the carrier can get right to the addresses you provide, they will. If the addresses that you give us are not safely accessible for a Multi-car carrier, however, you will need to make arrangements with the driver to meet at a nearby location where the carrier can safely get in and out.

People do it all the time (rarely for free) but the official answer is no.

Not what you wanted to hear, we know, but that is the honest answer.

We are not licensed to broker the shipment of household goods and, likewise, no car carrier that operates in the USA is licensed to transport them from state to state either. Despite what you might be being told by other car shipping companies you may speak with.

Remember, at the end of the day we're all salespeople, and the true answer to this question is not a great selling point.

You will hear a lot of companies tell you that you can put up to 100 pounds of items in the trunk, but that is not entirely true. That fact is that items of that amount are fairly common and the department of transportation is probably not going to split hairs and fine the trucker over items of that amount, provided they are not over their weight limit. They could fine them, however, if they see a vehicle stuffed full of personal items so the car carrier will most likely try to negotiate something with you to cover themselves against any costs they could incur. It's not something we can build into your contract though.

We have a short and helpful video on this topic in our user videos.

Only in rare cases and car carriers will usually charge a premium to make it happen.

All dates given by car carriers are typically estimates and projections.

For this reason (and to keep your cost down) we ask that you build in some flexibility and give us the earliest possible date you would be WILLING to release the vehicle, even though it may not be your preferred date.

We'll put you in direct contact with your car carrier and the driver will also typically call you the afternoon or evening before your pick up and delivery (they won't just show up unannounced, and if they do we want to hear about it). However, car carriers are out on the road battling traffic, weather and any number of other factors that can and do throw them off of their pickup and delivery projections from time to time.

If the projected dates we give you come and you are unable to make contact with your carrier, please call our office immediately so that we may help resolve the situation.

The average transit time from pick up to delivery on any vehicle going coast to coast will average 7 to 10 days. From there you can figure your transit time based on how far your vehicle is traveling, i.e. from either coast to the Midwest might average 3-7 days.

Yes!

Even better, we do not even ask for payment until we have you confirmed for pickup by a safe, reliable, fully insured, direct car carrier. If for any reason you do not ship your car with the carrier that we arrange for you, there is no fee.

The fees paid directly to the carrier however, (in most cases, their fees are not paid until your vehicle is delivered) are not directly controlled by us, so any requests for a refund of the carrier's portion would need to be addressed with the carrier directly.

Of course! And you are always backed by our Damage Free Guarantee policy.

Part of what you pay us for is to verify that the car carrier that we put you on is covered by the proper amount of insurance and that everything is up to date.

There is never any additional cost to you for this coverage, and their insurance is always primary.
