Tesla has begun production of its refreshed Model Y at the Gigafactory in Berlin, but orders have yet to open in Europe and North America. The new Model Y is already available for order in China and certain other markets. Tesla's European sales have declined significantly, and the new Model Y is expected to bolster them. Despite production starting, orders haven't been opened, which could affect delivery timelines. Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 continue to lead EV sales in the US, with the Cybertruck also performing well. Tesla's overall US market share remains significant.
