Tesla, Buildings, and a Reality That Has Already Caught Up to Us

The arrival of Tesla in Colombia and the fact that the Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in the country in March 2026 is not just a curious fact; it marks a turning point: for the first time, a 100% electric vehicle led monthly sales. It is a sign that the change has already begun.

Tesla, Buildings, and a Reality That Has Already Caught Up to Us

TL;DR

  • The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in Colombia in March 2026, marking the first time an electric vehicle led monthly sales.
  • Electric vehicle registrations increased by approximately 267% in March 2026 compared to the previous year.
  • A major challenge for electric vehicle adoption is the installation of charging stations in residential buildings, with some administrations resisting.
  • Electric cars offer benefits such as improved air quality in closed parking spaces, lower operating costs, and reduced maintenance.
  • Concerns about the safety of electric vehicle fires are unfounded; they are different from combustion engine vehicles and require technical knowledge, not fear.
  • Building administrations need better advice to avoid blocking the benefits of electric mobility for residents.
  • Buildings that do not facilitate electric vehicle charging will likely lose appeal in the future market.
