    Tchibo is offering the Tesla Model 3 for 777 euros ($924) a month.

    Strong demand for the new Model 3 helped boost Tesla's June sales in Europe by more than 215%.

    The Tesla, Smart and Lotus brands reported triple-digit sales percentage increases in June while 21 other brands including Jeep, BMW, Audi and Jaguar had double-digit gains, helping the overall market grow by 14 percent last month.

    The positive results were helped by being compared with a big decline in June 2020, when lockdowns caused by the pandemic keep people away from dealerships and negatively effected factories throughout Europe.
