Tesla’s Model Y has just made history in Norway, becoming the new single-year car sales record in the nation.

The record held since 1969 was by the iconic Volkswagen Beetle and its 16,699 vehicles sold in one year, but the Model Y just eclipsed that with 16,701 sold, according to data tracked by Norwegian Road.

Norway now has 20% of its total car fleet as EVs, according to data from the Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association.

Tesla confirmed the stat by saying, “Model Y just broke the bestselling car record in Norway, held since 1969 by the Beetle!”.

CEO Elon Musk added, “Congratulations Tesla Team!!”. Musk stated last fall the Model Y would become the world’s bestselling vehicle of any kind, and we’re already seeing the compact crossover SUV break records in many nations.
